Nulli Secundus - not seconds????
Hi Les,
In Australia most WW2 army battalions had a 'nick name' for their battalion. One of these was the 2nd/2nd AIF battalion that a few of its members came from around my home region.
The nick name of the 2/2 was "nulli secundus" which was a Latin/ Greek word for ‘second to none’.
On the picture the word is written 'secundus' and has a white dot proceeding and following the letters. Looking at the chap standing on the left you can see a white dot the same and the start of a letter, just, to the left of his leg.
Just betting nulli secundus was written on it as a 'piss take' for the old dodge being 'second to none' other truck. I think a British battalion, maybe guards, used the same name as well.
