i have a side profile drawn by one of the crew which ill scan, it might shed a bit of light on these. i think the guy was a draftsman or something as it is a very good example.

The Ford's had a side valve V8 but the Chev's had an Over Head Valve 6 cyl. engine.

Hi Mike

When pictures are externally hosted you can use the little icon which looks like an envelope but is in fact some sort of a representation of hills and sun.

Click on that and past in your link.

must have included a lot of vehicles brought back from Italy.

On a course I remember an instructor telling us that a full divisional artillery train was assembled in Waiouru in the 1950's and headed out onto the "Desert Road" (State Highway 1) and travelled all the way around the 3 Volcanoes (Ruapehu, Ngaruhoe and Tongariro) and back to Waiouru. And as the lead vehicles approached camp, the tail was just leaving!

In those days 4(NZ) Div was a reality, with men from Compulsory Military Training, and the equipment on the ground.

In future years the paper organisation of 4(NZ) Div included exotic stuff that never materialised, except in the imaginations of people on TEWTs.

Great photos Mike
