This is the best I can do:


Here's hoping your books hit the market sometime soon. . . .

David,

The photo seems a fully posed deal (sentry and truck stopped with door open)

The driver is wearing a c*** cap. The only Australian military to use this type of headgear were RAAF. I suppose RAAF vehicles may have been issued from AIF stocks but it is more than likely a British army driver.

Default F15s

Great stuff! Do I assume correctly that after victory in Tunisia that surviving BRITISH ex-N African F15s would have been sent to Sicily and the Italian mainland?
