Armoured Cars, Tanks, Other Vehicles... & Pith Helmets.

I totally agree, Adam.
There is so much going on - tennis court, big wide brimmed hats for the ladies, mix of hats for the men and children, looks to be a good number of moustaches, and surely a candidate for the (currently non-existent) thread 'how many people can you get on a big rocky mound in India(?)'.

 

Pith Helmets and a Matilda.

 

Just spotted on Facebook: 'Veterans Foundation' page.

Crop out the sea and, hey presto, it's a good old fashioned sepia print

 

Adam will like this one: splendid collection of Helmets, hats, and turbans, Lances, drum, and sword etc, moustaches and superb beards, and with John Bull and Britannia included for good measure.
Spotted on Facebook this morning.

A cold pint says this is B Squadron 4 RTR in East Africa.

All the best

Aren't those italians? They didn't capture anything in Eritrea. So B 4th RTR after Battleaxe? European camo like B did had in Eritrea.

 

I'm not a uniform buff, so didn't even think about the men. Terrain is very different to anything near the Egypt-Libyan border. If they are Italians then I would say Crete, and the tank is from 7 RTR.

All the best

The pith helmet adorned 14/20th Hussars leave for service in Egypt, 1931.



Suspect my uncle is in the parade somewhere.
