I would surmise that the great man had a hand in approving the design of this flyer. #ThursdayThought

KOKODA. Mapping was circumspect about the accuracy of surveys. "Main Track. 6 Hrs. Down", says one note; "7โ€“8 Hrs. Up, 5โ€“6 Hrs Down", says another. Any map measuring the landscape in hours is a map that needs a man to brace himself for the journey ahead. Voila: sketches:

Top stuff. @almurray has done the corps proud. Looking forward to the 6 part series of tactical airfield construction

From 2019 when @almurray made Bass Chris and I do a show in London at one day's notice with him. I broke the allegedly unbreakable Telecaster onstage and had to borrow a Mustang from another band. Solo Wainwright/Chilton cover at the end because we'd run out of songs

We LOVED getting these on deployment. Kids would draw the wildest stuff and teachers clearly weren't reviewing them. They would draw Army men shooting people and blood coming out and then it would say "I hope you don't die." Everyone looked forward to getting them.
There is nothing more earnest or unhinged than kidsโ€™ letters to the troops

From a previous post of mine: Lack of suitable ordnance during the 1942-45 campaigns in remote tropical mountains of New Guinea often necessitated improvisation. To attain the required elevation to attack high Japanese positions, Australian gunners often improvised. @almurray
New Guinea, near Wewak. April 1945: In stifling humidity men of Australian 2/1 Tank Attack Regiment watch one dig a pit for the gun trail of a 75mm Pack Howitzer mounted on a truck so it could attain a high elevation for firing on Japanese troops dug in on a high nearby feature.
