Here are a couple to start: Quote:

Great photos Keith.
Its interesting to look at the different tyres and the way the chevron patterns are put on. My Dad had to drive Ford Blitz's from 3 BOD Seymour Vic to Terowie in South Aust.in 1942 for use on the North/South Road. He said the heat during his later stint with the 2/7 Independant Commando Squadron in New Guinea was better than the heat coming from the Ford V8 in outback Oz. Regards Rick

Yes, you're probably right. The ARN would tell us if we had the right book to look it up. Must check it next time I'm at the Australian War Memorial.

Yes, that's part of an interesting series of images the AWM holds. Wonder whether there are any old newsreels of the time.

We've seen this one before, but it's a good one. Some time ago I sent the library info on the vehicles and they partly amended their caption.
