Sorry for the delay in reacting to this thread gents, I've been hanging out in the soft skins forum these past few days. Good thing Aris was on the lookout.
Further to Aris' post, when Winston spoke of the 19th Motorised Division, he was of course referring to a Greek army division. Apart from the equipment Aris mentioned they also had Austin 8HP Series AP cars equipped with Hotchkiss machine guns. I doubt any L3s were shipped from Egypt. The vehicles used by the 19th were captured in Albania according to the memoirs of the unit's commander, Gen. Honthrokoukis. Photos of the Dutchmen do indeed exist. Here they are: Vickers1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/torpy/Vickers1.jpg Vickers2.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/torpy/Vickers2.jpg Vickers3.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/torpy/Vickers3.jpg They all came from ebay auctions some time ago and apparently portay a captured vehicles dump somewhere in Greece. The carriers have the white hexagon marking which seems to have been the19th Mot. Div's insignia. This leads us to believe that the Dutchmen were part of the same unit although they don't carry the same marking and retain their British census number. Fyll
