It shows Indian Troops advancing into Iran in 1941. We were jointly occupying the country with Russia.
I think these troops are ether Gurkas or Garwalis from the region just south of Nepal.
Is it a 30cwt or a 3 tonner?
Is it a Chevrolet? I am unsure because it appears to have a hinged bonnet flap which comes down from the hood half way to the mudguards. Chevy bonnet flaps reach a curved line over the mud guard I beleive. |
Hello Nick,
Your old link is dead now, but searching the British Pathe site I found the title "Occupation Troops In Iran" -

Looks like the typical 3-ton "Bombay Chev" to me.
Thanks,
Hanno
