During the Siege of Malta between 1940 and 1942 the British garrison painted their vehicles in this distinctive camouflage pattern. The island has a large number of dry stone walls (we can see one in the background), and the idea was that the pattern would blend in with the irregular shaped stones. ‘Griffin’ was one of four Matildas operated by No. 1 Independent Troop, Royal Tank Regiment. They arrived in Malta in November 1940.

At first glance, I thought that was sneaux on the ground, but when I read that the pic was supposedly in Malta I thought NFW. Does it sneaux in Malta? IDK. Closer looks determined that the crewmen were wearing khakis and not over whites. Makes sense now. I got this from the Artwork of Armies page on Facebook. Pretty neat pic regardless.

I always liked Stuart tanks.

My lead prof. at Purdue rode a Stuart across Africa and up Italy. His family moved to Palestine in 1937 and he joined the Jewish Brigade of the British Army in 1939.

Newspapers used for winter camo. Not sure what catchphrase is more fitting;

*Fixed is fixed.

*Better than nothing.

*Good enough for government work.

*It was the thing to do at the time.

*I wasn't done with the funny papers yet.

*We can use it for TP after the spring thaws, who's laughing now Karl!

*Y'all have whitewash?

Submit your suggestions for effect at will.
