The Sea of Galilee 1942

One of my Granddad's was a member of the Eighth Army "The Desert Rats" during WWII in North Africa & the Middle East. As well as acquiring a few medals along the way including a mention in dispatches, he also spent part of his time taking some spectacular pictures of the places he visited. Here's a few images he took in black & white while at Galilee in 1942.
