123/5/3

The first rule of the 123/5/3 meme is, we do not talk about the 123/5/3 meme.

Here are the rest of the rules...

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. You can't go dig for the “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
   
6. Tag three people.

My three sentences go as follows:

"When he went went below to check on the North Nova Scotia Highlanders jammed in the tight troop spaces below decks, he found the counditions "ghastly." But there was nothing he could do to lessen their misery except kep his craft plooding eastward into the gathering night.

FIVE MILES AHEAD of the main armada, 255 Allied minesweepers and dan-buoy layers divided into ten flotillas were clearing wide channels within which the invasion forces were to travel in closely organized columns."

From Mark Zuehlke's, Juno Beach, Canada's D-Day Victory: June 6, 1944. (2004).
