Welfare Vehicles

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Screen grab of a canteen trailer of some sort, never seen this before. Could it be a converted radar trailer or similar?

Aplogies for the quality. The source is film material shot by Cees Schenkel's (a Keep Them Rolling member) grandfather, the celluloid film is being digitised by an archive which will put it on youtube in due time.

Hanno,

That's a new one for me. Where was this filmed at? I've seen very few, trailer canteens, they did exist but were much less common then self propelled vehicles.

A while back I picked your brains about the vehicles in the original photo. Well I had the opportunity to visit this location. So here is my first composite photograph. I put it here, because it's still a Welfare Vehicle

Great job on that composite, I am envious.

Matthew, I don’t know. It is a screenshot of a film shot by the grandfather of a KTR club member. He sailed on S.S. Johan de Witt, a Dutch troop transport ship. So I guess this was shot in a harbor? The 4 films are being digitalised to be put online in the future.

Indeed rare to see a canteen trailer, which is why I shared it here.

Speaking of trailers, here are pictures of another one. This one is being recreated by Alexander Scott in the UK.
