Which is the officer's carriage?

Tickets please!

No guessing who travels in the covered carriage?

Apparently taken during the occupation of Kuala Belait, Brunei and Seria WW2.

This item comes from the Australian publication "Equal to the Task - Vol 1", The Royal Australian Army Service Corps, by Neville Lindsay, 1992.

I bought it in the 1990s discounted to A$12.95, reduced from A$39.95.

The book covers RAASC from British beginnings through to Vietnam. Not sure if Vol 2 was ever published.

The book has some good piccies of WW1 to 1991 Australian Army vehicles, including CMP, Inter ACCOs, etc.

Enjoy.

The officers must be comfortable, so that they can make the best decisions for the welfare of their men. (apologies to those of the officer realm. I was actually ribbing an armoured officer about this years ago, but the joke was lost as he was in complete agreement.)

Just a small plug for the Bundy Swim in this year which incorporates a Jeep rail extravaganza :D :D

Jeep train - radiator protectors?.
 
I am guessing the timbers fitted over the radiator grills on some jeeps was not for protection, but as a 'better' pusher/shunting device for carriages, etc.

Further, although I didn't look to close, it seems that the jeep in the various piccies may be the same jeep?

Over to the MLU detectives.

Ballentyne Books published one called 'The Jeep' many years ago and I think it contained one or two photos of 'Rail Engine Jeeps' in use as well. Wonder if they are all the same as well?
