Duty in Morocco offered many opportunities for recreation and interaction with a culture far different than most of the members of VR-24 had ever experienced. The scope of activities available, as well as the different interests of VR-24 personnel are reflected in the photos on this and the next page.
Visiting the exotic places that Morocco had to offer usually involved riding public transportation, which could be an experience unto itself. Most VR-24 members either rode the train, which provided excellent service, or the Moroccan equivalent of the Greyhound, but which allowed passengers to board with household possessions and livestock. The more senior servicemen usually brought personal vehicles with them to Morocco. A few of the more determined junior enlisted acquired whatever was available from other American servicemen who were selling theirs when leaving Port Lyautey. The first few photos below depict several solutions to the problem of getting around Port Lyautey, and further afield in Morocco.
Anyone who has photos, stories, and material they wish to share is encouraged to send them to Dick Prather, Webmaster/Editor of the VR-24 website.
