Diggers' Page

Thanks to "Tiny" Mayers and Jim Armstrong (Murchison) we're able to publish another Diggers' Page this month. Once again a glance by World War 11 Digs will show you you're back in the desert again. Were any of you blokes at Casino? And if you were, have you got any pix? That's one phase of the Second World War we haven't touched on yet. Nor have we seen much of the R.N.Z.A.F. in action.

For you digs who went through the Crete campaign, this pic from Jim Armstrong will revive memories. Jim got it through the good offices of a German P.O.W.

Again from Jim; some German aircraft which bought it at Berka aerodrome.

Tiny Mayers and Major Bryde in front of the wreckage of a German Tiger tank which came off second best in a bout with a Sherman.

This handsome lad is Jim Armstrong himself at Tel Aviv.
