| 3 | The long move of 150 miles in 15 hours was succesfully accomplished. One jeep, one 15 cwt and one carrier failed to reach the final destination under own power. Owing to the fact that the roads were only availabe to the Division for a limited period, tracked vehs moved with the wheeled coln and a number of carriers had difficulty in maintaining the speed. On any long journey it is considered that tracked vehs should, whenever possible, travel as a seperate column. |
