Can anyone identify this?

I thought it was British because of the wheels but it probably is French, looks a bit like a Citroën. Any help identifying would be appreciated.

KC-1 Dodge half ton, or slightly later, maybe mid 1930's

The sort that is normally called a 'humpback' when it is a panel van.

Thanks Gordon, I never would have figured a Dodge. Does the marking on the door look familiar?

[gordon]

I think it might be a Dodge, not sure though

i've seen that door marking before but no idea where. Got a location for the image? France 1940 or something like that ?

Here's a KC-1 Dodge at Hickam Field, Pearl Harbor, shortly after the visit



Size, shape, suicide doors, left hand drive - it's in the ballpark

It does look like the Dodge, the wheels hubs look the same too. Here is what was written on the rear of the photo, it is in German:

Bob,

Can't help with IDing the vehicle, but the writing in the back reads:
"auf eine meine gefahren" = ran over a mine
"unser fahrzeug" = our vehicle
As the German driver wrote it was their vehicle, it was obviously used captured and used by them.

HTH,
Hanno
