Grandads' WW2 North Africa campaign photos


My grandfather served in North Africa and Palestine with the REME and took many photos. Here are a few. I can't share all of them as they were taken on the battle field and you can imagine some censorship was required. Many others are like holiday snaps as he toured when on leave.

    Very interesting. Anyone able to tell me what the German-marked vehicle on the trailer is?

    It's a Lorraine chassis.

    Called SdKfz 135/1 with a 15 cm howitzer, apparently a bunch were captured at El Alamein.
