Somehow I don't think these are British troops....

Definately not British, as the carriers are LP2's and the motely lot crewing them have got to be ANZAC's by there atire and presentation.

M.G Carrier, LP2's, with the center tow eye cut off (Have I got that right David?) and the front guards clipped.(I haven't seen that done on LP2s before)

So we know they are LP2 or 2As (can't tell which .... can't see the diff!) but where are we guessing they are?

Ambon?
Timor?
Rabaul?
Malaya?

It's somewhere tropical, but who and where??

Any thoughts and why?

It was common practice by the NZ forces to cut back the front guards on those sent to Tonga, Fiji and here at home, also a number were sent to Guadacanal as mentioned in a previous thread. As per Keiths picture if its Papua New Guinea wouldn't they be Australian ?
