Doctoral thesis: Australian army logistics 1943-45

[Mike Cecil]

I agree, Mike, that such topics as the development of tropic proofing of all manner of equipment is relevant but barely touched upon. Same with the development of equipment such as the light laundry, mobile field shower systems, light (jeep) ambulances and dump trucks, the 25-pdr Short, and prefabricated steel framed huts - all developed in response to the atrocious tropical climate and difficult operational conditions.

I'm also encountering a number of inaccuracies such as Matilda tanks being 'medium' tanks, misspelled ship names, the use of 'Dakota' when referring to USAAF-operated C-47 Skytrain aircraft, and the like.

So far, it hasn't improved since my last post.
