Some CMP pictures from the New Zealand National Archives
Hi to all. I've spent the past weekend trawling through the digital photos held by our National Archives, and have managed to get quit a haul of interesting CMP photos amongst others. I'll post them as I re-size them to go here.
Tools laid out on the ground as part of a transport kit inspection, Maadi Camp, Egypt. Taken circa 1941 by an official photographer. NZ National Archives DA-00802-F. Next: Officer conducting transport kit inspection of army truck and driver's tools, Egypt. Taken circa 1941 by an official photographer. NZ National Archives DA-00801-F Last: Trucks of advance party arrive on the wharf at Alexandria, Egypt, for embarkation as the NZ Division leaves Egypt for Italy during World War II. Photograph taken in October 1943 by M D Elias. NZ National Archives DA-03200-F Of interest (other than the broken windscreen!) is the shipping information on that window, and various shipping info on the fender, and the air recognition roundel on the bonnet/hood. Colours most probably are Light Mud and S.C.C. 14 Blue-Black. The unit (88 on a Red and Blue background) is the 4th Field Regiment, NZA Cheers, Pete M. More to come soon... |
