As a small thank you to those who have supported,
encouraged, collected and contributed to the success of jjDesigns,
over the last ten years,
I have dedicated this year’s Membership figures to a few of the collectors
who I have had the pleasure to get to know.
I apologize to the many that I have not been able to include,
but please be assured that I am extremely thankful and grateful to everyone,
without whom I would not have been given the opportunity
to produce and develop my work over the last ten years.
Each Membership set purchased for the price of us$45 also includes the following;
THE 2015 COLLECTORS CLUB ANNUAL, PRODUCT LIST SUPPLEMENT, AND
THE 2016 CALENDAR.
For those collectors wishing to purchase additional membership sets,
and not wanting any additional Annuals, Product lists and calendars,
the membership sets this year will be offered at a lower price,
without the Annual, Product list, and Calendar.
WHEELS ACROSS THE DESERT
In 1915,
Egypt was the centre of the war effort in the near East.
Units would strike westwards into the Sahara desert to deal with dissident tribes who were goaded into action by the Turks,
or were sent northwards into Gaza to confront the Turkish army itself.
The Sennussi were a warlike Arab religious sect encouraged
by the Turks to tie down as many British troops as possible.
Model T Ford cars,
escorted by Rolls-Royce armoured cars were used to patrol the desert,
and to launch daring raids against the Sennussi.
The most important British armoured car of the first World War
was undoubtedly the Rolls-Royce.
In terms of the numbers built,
effective design and all round quality it was unequalled,
and is now taken to typify the vintage armoured car.
The Hedjaz Armoured Car Section,
was an unit of three Rolls Royce armoured cars,
which operated alongside the irregular forces inspired and guided by T.E Lawrence.
This unit also acted independently and mounted long range raids,
such as the succesful raid against the Amman railway bridge in September 1918.
The armoured cars earned Lawrence's respect for their reliability and effectiveness,
and in his "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" he mentions that "a Rolls in the desert was above rubies".
