Australian 1941 impression

[giorgos_p]

Hi all, 

 

since my collection is focused on WW2 in North Africa, Italy, the Middle East and the Balkans, I wanted to put together a representative impression of an Australian soldier, as seen on photos in Alexandria, mainland Greece and on Crete in 1941.

 

So, the - unbadged but worn- jacket is 1942 dated, while all webbing and other equipment bears dates between 1939 and 1941.

 

At some point, I would like to add an early-dated slouch hat or australian-made Mk II, but these items don't turn up very often. 

 

Regards, 

Giorgos
