Corsica, France. 1944-07. Two motor cycles and a truck, part of a road convoy en route from Serragia on the eastern side of the island to Calvi (St. Catherine) on the west coast, pulled up on the side of the road during a temporary halt on the journey. The motor cycle in the right foreground is a RAF vehicle, but bears the letters "BQ" indicating that it is attached to No. 451 Squadron RAAF. The second motor cycle and its rider are from the US Army's Military Police. At rear is a truck belonging to No. 451 Squadron RAAF which is transporting squadron members to their new base at Calvi. The door of the truck, on which its driver is leaning, bears the letters "RAAF BQ" and the symbol of a kangaroo above a boomerang. (Donor M. Johnson)
