Middle East & Africa 1943

[manta22]

In 1943 My Dad, Major C.C. Albaugh was ordered to conduct a study of the Army supply system for the Middle East and to report any problems he found to the Commanding General. He traveled aboard a ship in a convoy out of Charleston, SC to Khorremsharr and returned through Egypt, Kenya Colony, The Belgian Congo, French West Africa, and Nigeria. These are his silent 8mm movies of that trip.

Cool. Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics.
