A painting of the Jerboa or
Desert Rat which gave the
British VIIIth Army Corps its
name and symbol in North
Africa during World War II.
With its long kangaroo-type hind legs, it is capable of jumping quite long distances. The only examples I ever saw were at the seismic survey camp in south-west Oman (top right corner of the map below) in about March 1960
