Diggers' Page

As you can see, digs, we'er still running your page, but only because some of you (wives included) decided it was time to really start digging into all those old pix we knew you had. Keep it up. This month we have a Korean flavour as the main ingredient in Diggers' Page; pics supplied to us by Tim Kinzett.

A couple of local digs catching up with the news on the steps of the Rhodes Memorial, Capetown, in 1941. They are Logan Hunt (face partly obscured), of Motueka, and Rex Win, Dovedale. Both were later prisoners of war, Logan by both the Italians and Germans, He is now Motueka president of the P.O.W.Association.

One of the many orphans in Korea gets a little comfort from New Zealanders.

Cop this lot - a typical Army issue of gear. Don't they look sweet? Once again, Korean types.

Another pic of Logan Hunt, taken near the hop fields in Kent. Must have seemed like home, Logan.

A sight all you artillery blokes will have seen before and often. Taken in Korea with an N.Q. charge.
