Description
Egypt. 1941. Six members of No 3 Squadron RAAF belting up .303 inch machine gun ammunition in the desert. The men are working without shirts, some sitting on wooden ammunition boxes as they work. They were part of a convoy of sixty six trucks travelling from Rayak, Syria, after the end of the Syrian campaigns, to Amiriya, Egypt, to take part in the Western Desert campaigns. (Donor F.
