Description:
An interesting selection of New Zealand World War I photographs showing the Western Desert, Tripoli, Greece and Crete, the owner May well have been a member of the long Range Desert group as a number of the photos appear to show the trucks similar to those used by this unit and are certainly worthy of further research. If they are indeed Lrdg images they are exceedingly rare. Other photographs show Greece and Crete, one shows a snow covered hut – very likely in a German Prisoner of war Camp – so perhaps the owner of these photos was taken prisoner. Desert images show scenes with Bren guns and trucks – many being somewhat iconic New Zealand World War I photos. A particular photo shows a group of very rough looking New Zealand soldiers wearing a selection of uniform items and appearing very bedraggled and non soldierly
