Somewhere in Africa, a long time ago!
« on: Saturday 28 February 15 00:27 GMT (UK) »
Somewhere in Africa...  Two photos...

#1

I do know it's a WW1 era Leyland RAF truck, photo likely taken after WW1 though, maybe or maybe not...  And a man, maybe a "soldier" of some sort...  And on the far right there are some native Africans passing by...  I do have a clearer photo of them, must scan that one...

#2

It's a Crossley RAF Tender, no people in this photo, but does have the hut behind it, may or may not be the same village as the previous Leyland truck...

Yes...  I did find this series of photo here in western Canada...
A collector of found photography...

If you can scan the second one better you may be able to recognize the uniform, I tried but not enough detail..
