Default in the background

sourced from facebook 'WW2 Radio'
no details barring the date, 1943.
Photos : Myron Davis - LIFE Collections.

its obviously hot so the troops aren't wearing much uniform...but the slouch hats and ABC (Australian Broad casting ?) point towards them being Diggers.

Default Background

That's a perfect example of CMPs in the background, well found! They look like Australian F60Ls.

Smile From the Holgate Archives II

Those of you on FB may have already seen this.
Family Holidays on the NSW South Coast, Tathra, 1949.
Those that know Tathra and the famous Wharf may find it interesting. But for those of us that like our CMP's skip to around the 4 minute mark.
