Korea I'd guess. The 2 Chaffey tanks would be the give-away as although the Yanks had them in 1944 in Europe I don't think that there were any in the Islands with the Aussies.
The first M-24s reached American armored units in November 1944 and served throughout the European theater until the end of the war. British forces also received the new M-24, although in nowhere near the numbers of either the M-3 or M-5, and named it after General Adna R. Chaffee, the first commander of the United States armored forces. The United States subsequently adopted the name. (Thanks Google).

Good on you Cliff, I forgot about them. Your probably right, The terrain looks like Qld or somewhere up north.
What sort of artillery was inuse in that photo? Plenty of cardboard casings on the ground on the right. Rick

Somewhere in Italy
This is a photograph of 3 Squadron RAAF Mustangs in Italy near the end of the war.
3 Squadron used a number of CMP Fords, mainly F15 and F60L versions.

Cracking picture of Arromanches, taken on D.Day +2. This was from The Times newspaper, which is not easy to scan !. When veiwed with a magnifying glass, the CMP just to the left of the telegraph pole, looks to be a Chevy, as the expansion tank is over the front wing. The other CMP is on the far right of the picture.
