Mike, I wonder if we can track these Cab 12 FATs trans-shipped at Colombo en route to Australia. Photo undated but presence of Andes indicates late February after Orcades returned from Java debacle (Andes embarked Suez 18 February carrying advance party 2/11 Field Regiment; disembarked Adelaide 16 March). Orcades disembarked Adelaide 14 March. If WO number H4522081 can be traced in vehicle records it may shed light on how these vehicles were eventually processed under MECH 314.
