Hi Rob here, I'm a kiwi Military Historian specialising in New Zeland's Ordnance Services and related Logistic Corps. My interest in Military Vehicles is in the specialist Logistic varients and specialist Logistic equipment that was used by New Zealand Forces from the First World War to the present. Anything to do with Binned Stores trucks, Mobile Laundry's, Mobile Bath units, Clothing disinfectors, water and fuel distribution is within my area of interest.

 

All the best

Rob

Hi Rob,

A few years back, Mike Cecil who at one time worked at the Australian War Memorial, wrote an article for a magazine that I am editor of, on mobile laundries used by the Australian forces.

See link below,

The article is the copyright of Mike Cecil.

There was a follow up article from Mike on light laundry trailers which is not on the web, but if you send me a Private Message on this forum, with your email address I can send it to you.

regards, Richard

Hi Richard, thanks for the interesting link. Illustrates the diversity of 1940's Australian industry where they were able to design and produce this equipment in a relatively short period of time. New Zealand only had a Mobile Laundry capability in the Middle East and Egypt from the middle of 1941, using standard British equipment. But I am curious whether the Mobile laundry units that NZ maintained in the 1950s and early 1960s used the British equipment or the Australian equipment described in the article, another path to explore.

Here is a link to an article on what I currently know about New Zeland Mobile laundry and Bath equipment. https://wp.me/p4YOZp-3e

 

Regards Rob
