“If Going Much Further Please Take One” – Australians “Stop Here” Sign on Desert Battlefront During North African Campaign

“If going much further please take one.” Typical ‘Aussie’ humor is reflected in this sign erected on the El Alamein road by Australian troops, 1942.

The Australians are famous for all their well-developed sense of humor. At the wire along the El Alamein road, they have erected a number of signs which are calculated to take all the desire from anyone with ideas of proceeding further west at the present time.
