When you think about it - the AWM pics do reveal that the Australian army grabbed just about anything that was available ... there was an element of desperation .. especially early on .

They had large numbers vehicles of: British, US, Canadian and local pattern. pre war types even ... civilian types aplenty. Varied makes too: Inter, Dodge , Chev, Ford .. and many more...Italian vehicles too, captured in the desert. Was this eclectic menagerie matched by any other army, maybe the Germans .
