Default New picture.......Riddle....

While at the recent militaria show in Ottawa last weekend Rob noticed this picture that fell out of a book...... not interested in thebook but in the picture Rob purchased same and gave it to me..... it was not a nude but very nice just the same !!!

Obviously a personal picture from a small box camera....original size is about 2.5 by 3.5 inches.


I have scanned it and enlarged certain parts of it......

The first pic is the full picture..... noticed the lettering on the door....

The license palte to my failing eyes reads QUEBEC 40

...And the enlargement of the door says

R DECHAUD

70-1-703

So the riddle is......

....when did they start writing the name of the truck driver on the door.... and why...? maybe that's just for Quebec so they would not loose them..?


Rob Clarke has suggested a very plausible explanation and even a possible location....

Any takers.....?
