Equipment
Because of the many different Commonwealth armies involved in the Nth. African conflict, the wireless equipment in use would have been from many sources . British, Australian, Sth African and other Commonwealth signals units each had their own particular equipment .Some of the radios were unique to certain units, the 109 set made in Sydney by STC , was issued to Aust. units only. The AWA 101 set is another Aust. set that was used in Syria and Egypt.
In one of the Unit dairies on the AWM site, I found a drawing with the wireless frequencies allocated at El Alamein , a very interesting document , it showed each unit involved and the wireless set type that unit was using .
Will try to find it again .
