Christmas 'at the front' - North Africa, 1943
2007-12-22 09:43:00 It seemed appropriate that I start of this new section of my site, documenting my family's part in World War Two, with a Christmas entry. At this time of year it would be nice to remember all those serving in our Armed Forces in far away and dangerous places, so here's a bit of a festive memory from my Dad's photo album. My father served with the Royal Army Service Corps (what we would now know as logistics) as part of the 8th Army in North Africa. The role of his unit was to keep the units at the front line supplied with food and other supplies by managing the mountains of stores and the trucks that transported them. Right: Dad recorded the menu served to the members of his unit, Christmas 1943. It seems a pretty good one, and certainly not what the troops at the front were probably eating. Click on the picture to see a larger version. Despite this being a 'second line' roll, military historians will appreciate that it was logistics and the flow of supplies t...
