Great picture
Mike, Great find. I've emailed the NZ museum to get their permission to repost it here. As Rick says, there's so much to learn from these historical pictures of how the troops in the field adapted their equipment to suit their needs.
Rick, I'd spotted the rounded armour over the fuel tanks and wasn't sure what that mount was for. I'm assuming that the large ammunition boxes were for extra stowage. The crews must have lived out of these vehicles for days, if not weeks.
Thanks, Peter
