Leo di Rocco has provided more information about the jeeps, as pictured with Paolo Cardinale at the wheel.
... It was great to see the old jeep with Paul at the wheel, I knew him and his whole family. The jeep and many other military vehicles were bought from the Australian army these vehicles were surplus and all American and they were shipped to Australia during the second world war under the lend lease plan. Lets not forget that Hostilities had only ceased 6 years prior to the first men of SAE arriving in Australia.. These vehicles served EPT well into the seventies and eighties. Most were worn out and eventually replaced with the more modern four wheel drives ...
Transmission Lines 1955–1974 is a project by Linda Carroli. It documents my father’s working life as a rigger and linesman with the Electric Power Transmission and its Italian parent company. He kept a photographic record of his working life and the photographs featured in this map are his personal photographs from Australia and Italy in the period 1955 to 1974. He commenced work in Italy in 1954 and remained working with EPT until 1975.
