Great, that's the source of the photo which started off this thread.

"Indian troops in Malaya during World War II. Shows transportation of soldiers in trucks"

I think there aren’t trailers, just a staggered line of trucks

Hi Hanno

I see things differently......maybe that is why I am going for cataract surgery tomorrow morning.....will look at them again when I return from the hospital.

Unless they are in a "breeding position", I do not think so..... not enough space between them or the spare tires would be showing as they protrude quite a bit.

If they are trailers then they are fitted with wooden boxes same size as the trucks........... beautiful picture though.

Cheers

It's a deceptive photo.

While counting the tires on the ground might lead to thinking it's a trailer, close inspection shows what appears to be a running board leading forward from the "Trailer", and a shadow on the ground much farther forward than where the "Box" of the trailer should end. I think this is a 2nd truck in the line with the cab obscured.

...I agree.....not a trailer but a truck out of line......

New eye ball is doing fine but will need a redo on the glasses.
