Looking for WW2 photos

Received this email from Glen Kuschert;

G’day Sir,
I am a current serving Officer, I served with the 7th Battalion in Afghanistan and remain a member of the 7th Battalion Association. I found your email address on the association website as the Historian I thought you may be able to assist me.

I want to produce a single framed series of photos to be auctioned off at the next 7 RAR reunion in Adelaide 2015. My idea is to use four images depicting the 7th Battalion service in the First and Second World War, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

There is a image of members of the 7th Battalion in captured trench at Lone Pine that you may be familiar with. For Vietnam I am planning on using the iconic B Company image and I have several images from Afghanistan to select from. My issue is finding a suitable image from the Second World War. I have searched on the net with no real luck.

I am hoping you may be able to point me in the right direction. Could you recommend a suitable image of the 2/7th.

Once complete, the four photos will be framed with maroon back ground and entitled “7th Battalion – 100 Years of Service to Australia” with the proceeds going to the association to do with as they see fit. I plan to complete this next year so an image of it can be displayed on the Porky Seven website.

I will greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

If anyone can help then email Glen on glen.kuschert@defence.gov.au or directly to me at kev@7rar.asn.au
