WWII items of Lance Corporal S H Knott (SX 8156) from Gaza, Palestine, 1941/42

A collection of items from Lance Corporal Knott, including his wartime driver's licence, telegram to family about his hospitalisation, a photo of him and a friend (in uniform) in a cartoon plane, half a dozen cards sent from Gaza, and his postwar R.S.S.A.I.L.A. membership card. 

Lance Corporal S H Knott (SX 8156) was born in 1908 in South Australia and enlisted in July 1940. He was a truck driver in the Australian Army Ordnance Corps operating out of the base camp in Gaza, (then) Palestine, and possibly Barbara. He helped supply ordnance to the Australian 6th and 9th Divisions, including while at Tobruk. This listing is part of a trove of items from Knott, including photos of Gaza, its people, his army colleagues, a rare base journal from Palestine, Gaza war cemetery, and a photo of the 6 DIV 'surf carnival' on Gaza beach. Please see the Tony Mack Book store for these listings.

Condition: Usual wear, creases and fraying to be expected of possessions of a wartime soldier.
