Arn 46743
Interesting (unusual) layout of the ARN on 46743, with the gap and hyphen between the 6 and 7. Nice gloss paintwork and shiny chrome fittings, too.
Just as interesting is that this Chev 'Car, 5 passenger, sedan' lasted in service so long, being written-off the books in Korea in October 1954. Mike

Good one Mike K.
I think I might steal Colonel Southwell's markings. Had to look hard to see what the horse over the boomerang meant. It is the 2nd Australian Army. We had enough trouble making up one army let alone two, must be another of those phantom on-paper organisations. lang Last edited by Lang; 21-02-21 at 05:36.

Just had a look at the Australian Second Army. It was an organisation that gave various floating and home defence units in NSW, Victoria and South Australia a formation headquarters.
At its peak it had close to 150,000 people under its control including two American Divisions training in Australia, various home defence organisations but particularly many training schools. Initially headquartered in Melbourne but by the time the war finished it had slowly been reduced to mainly defence of the Sydney area and various training schools - a mere shadow of its former self. Its redesignation as "Training Command" was never completed because of the war's end. Upon formation in April 1942, the Second Army consisted of the following formations: 2nd Motor Division Victoria Covering Force US 41st Infantry Division US 32nd Infantry Division (joining/arriving) 12th Brigade Group By August 1943, the formation had been reduced to the following: 1st Division 1st Brigade 9th Brigade 28th Brigade Commanders Second Army was initially commanded by Lieutenant General Iven Mackay. In January 1944, the position passed to Lieutenant General Leslie Morshead; he remained until July 1944. That month, Major General Herbert Lloyd assumed administrative command, and he remained in the position until January 1946. Last edited by Lang; 21-02-21 at 05:56.
