Australian Army Vehicle Registers AWM126

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Mike,

You had the destination correct in your first post - Malaya (delivered into Singapore), but not the actual meaning of the 'E' code. This code was just for Malaya, not other destinations in the 'Far East', which was only 'Far East' to the Poms - to Aussies it was the near north - too near on 19 Feb 1942, but that's a digression.

A clue are the vehicles in the AIF registers that are also delivered overseas to other single letter-code destinations.

I'm surprised there have not been any other takers to this challenge.

Mike
