G'day,
That vehicle in the distance in the previous photo is ,I think, a FORD soft top ute. I'll find a better photo for comparison. This photo is from Bart VanDerVeen's book FIGHTING VEHICLES DIRECTORY. The howitzer is a captured italian one, one of the many used by the Ozzies along with tanks, trucks and everything else. The captured items were a great assistance in the defeal of Rommel and his army.

Thanks Rick, for the ID of the truck in the background. Considering how little detail there was you did a great job. I'm not yet convinced that the howitzer is Italian, but I've been wrong before (quiet you lot, I hear the snickering!)

Jefe, as for your recent comment, hanging out with such an esteemed bunch as we have here at MLU, something has to rub off. Ya gotta like osmosis!
