Very interesting to read the writings of the late David Hayward again. All those intricate dealings and global supply chains working in the background to supply the troops with the vehicles they needed. Fascinating.
The vehicles at the top of the page are indeed 1940 Model Chevrolet 1311X3 15-cwt 4x2 trucks.
More information on the Indian Long Range Squadron (ILRS) has since became available, see
