I don't think I've mentioned it before . My uncle, Edward Kelly VX6350 , was captured by the Germans . He was in the 2/7 battalion and he spent 4 years as a POW in Germany .I'm not sure of the place of capture , probably either Greece or Crete. He said to me once " we were cannon fodder ". He always refered to rank stripes , corporal etc., as 'hooks'. Must be a peculiar aussi-ism.

Cheers. I am sure that Aussie Holden-bodied Chevrolets and any other staff cars, etc., that were shipped out through the Canal to Alexandria were candidates for sending to Greece!
