This plate was dug up in the Stalingrad Area . I know it says Vauxhall but i think it is a Bedford 3 ton truck [ Vauxhall made Bedfords], so the truck may have come from the BEF in 1940 and must have been just a year old when left. The plate / truck must have been hit as the plate has a big dent in it. I have a few ID plates from trucks but they do not have the WD Number or the Wait of the Veh stamped in the plate?
