    trove.nla.gov.au/work/228546329 - the ANMM has another pic of the ABC soundie... This pic appears to have been taken in Sydney on 5th May, 1940...on that occasion troops were taken to the waiting troopships by ferry... www.awm.gov.au/collection/U56047 - the AWM has the 2/4th Infantry Battalion leaving Sydney on 10th January, 1940... so this pic might involve another battalion, etc... www.awm.gov.au/collection/U56052 - Possibly the 2/9th...they evidently embarked from Sydney on 5th May, 1940...along with other battalions...the 2/10th etc

    I don't know what your 'little yellow hordes' comment is about. If you did some research you'd discover that these guys were off to fight in Europe, or as it turned out North Africa, Greece and the Middle East...if it wasn't for these guys and the thousands and thousands and thousands of others like them, Klaus Schwab's 1,000 year Reich would have started in 1942 and not 2022. They gave us 80 years of something vaguely resembling freedom and liberty...and we can at least thank them for that...

    covid convict while fighting in Europe Australia became target of the little yellow hordes and we brought our boys back to resist them. Might try reading about that too….Menzies was told by Churchill,let the Japanese take Australia,we’ll get it back….he brought them home anyway.

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/238388145 - the ANMM also has a Sam Hood pic of this van and cameraman

    covid convict the ANMM one looks like it may be a copy from a later print rather than from the original nitrate neg. The SL disposed of the original Sam Hood nitrate negs after photographing them on 35mm film and our digital copies are reproduced from the 35 mm b/w negs rather than direct from original nitrate negs in RGB.
