North Africa 1942-43

Chapter IX
Shower Completed

A pump from an airplane engine run by a 12-volt battery (from a truck) brought the water up to the tank from a barrel of fresh water.

The hot Italian sun heated this accessory gas tank (from a fighter aircraft).

Frankly, we did not get too much “mileage” of warm showers because of its small size, but it worked fine if nobody lingered too long.
