Fourteen months ago, a South African railways and harbours brigade workshop unit was recruited, and left the union in the record time of ten days. To-day, these men are the backbone of a great tank repair depot, in Egypt, which is doing as much as any combatant unit to hold up the Axis drive to the east. Working at a pace never before attained, they are putting the tanks back into the firing line as fast as the battle and the wear and tear of desert conditions knocks them out. Their work has earned the gratitude and praise of general Auchinleck.This South African repaired tank is bucketing its way over the test ground near the workshops. Inside is a Springbok Test Driver.

The Second Indochina War, known in America as the Vietnam War, was a Cold War era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and was fought between North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the U. S. and other anti-communist nations. The U. S. government viewed involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam and part of their wider strategy of containment. The North Vietnamese government viewed the war as a colonial war, fought initially against France, backed by the U. S. , and later against South Vietnam, which it regarded as a U. S. puppet state. U. S. military advisors arrived beginning in 1950. U. S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s, with U. S. troop levels tripling in 1961 and tripling again in 1962. U. S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. Operations
