1943-1944
Transit Tramp was a fortnightly typewritten magazine published by the 1st Transit Camp as part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the Pacific (NZEF IP) stationed in Nouméa, New Caledonia between 1943 and 1944 during World War II.
Edited by Graham Enting and sub-editor Alan Pearson until his departure in November 1943, Transit Tramp contained notices, jokes, film reviews, sports news, poems, songs and gossip as well as other contributions from personnel and a regular section profiling one of the ‘Illustrious Batmen’ called ‘Who’s in the Team’ (02 November 1943: 4).
While it not clear when Transit Tramp stopped publishing, by mid-1944 many personnel posted in the Pacific were starting to return to New Zealand.
