This is my Father, S/get F.B. Staveley with his good friend Gordon Jones. It is a picture that they sent to my uncle, Trooper H.A.V. Dawson. My Dad was a fitter, Jones arrived and my Uncle abgunner. My Dad turns 101 this September, if you would like to get his stories on his time in the desert, feel free to contact me and we can set it up.
