Sgt. Jack Oxley ran the British Army Workshops in a genial and effective way, as I found out when I volunteered to help put a new engine in my ambulance. I helped Fitter Jack Skinner, who is shown on the left in this photo. We worked all day, except for the hottest afternoon hours, in the shade of these olive trees.
Location: Our British Workshops, near Tripoli.
