Monty's caravans show Dominions aid after war roam
Chester Wilmot reports from a barn near the river Wey in Hampshire where three caravans used by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery survive. The first, a luxurious combined office and bedroom vehicle, once belonged to General von Bergonzoll. A second captured Axis caravan accompanied the Eighth Army through Sicily and Italy. A third, larger mobile operations room, housed signals logs and portraits of German generals. The caravans, still in wartime paint, sit beside Montgomery's own house while timber and fittings from Australia and other Dominions celebrate their postwar home.
