Description
El Daba, Egypt, 1943. At an airfield on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, a member of No. 451 Squadron RAAF sits despondently in ankle-deep water in his tent, which has been flooded by a heavy downpour of rain. The squadron was involved in the defence of the Nile delta and in protecting allied convoys in the Mediterranean. (Donor M. Johnson)
