A request has come in which I’m most happy to pass on. Good luck with your research Tony Wege and I look forward to reading your book.

2/4th RESERVE MOTOR TRANSPORT COMPANY
Is there anyone in Victoria, SA and WA who has any connection with the 2/AIF unit, the 2/4th Reserve Motor Transport Company?
This unit served in Malaya and Singapore from April 1941 until the fall of Singapore. Then most of its members became PoWs (Prisoners of War). Some returned to Australia.
I am researching and writing the unit’s history. It was raised in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia in the period late February and March 1941. The whole unit left Fremantle on the 19th April 1941 for Singapore.
I am anxious to talk with anyone who has a connection with any member of the unit.
I can be contacted on 08 85622257 or email: wege@internode.on.net.
If anyone would care to write, please send your letter to Tony Wege. PO Box 408 Nuriootpa SA 5355
