Unit & Truck ID: 4 Line of Communication (Railhead) Company R.A.S.C.

I am afraid but it appears that nobody (not only here) knows about this unit... so it will remain one of the "desert misteries"...

Hi Kuno,
Do you have any photographs with a unit sign on them as they might be in this book i had printed.

Is the driver lying on his side or has the truck flipped????

Unit color sign could be red/Green for RASC or CDN....RCASC with a white cross for the theatre they were in.....like RCASC had a white bottom border for Canadian based vehicles....
PS...I have a shipping way bill addressed to Bashra.....crates contained 6 headlight assembly possibly for the desert 42 LRDG trucks or other Chev lend-lease trucks.

The truck is lyig on its side.
There were no Canadian units in North Africa - and this photo was taken on the road between Tobruk and Tripoli in Libya.

Would you recognize the "logo" with the camel?

[Bob Carriere]

.....nope...... but French people called out idiots...... Chameaux!!!!!!

Sure would make for easier off loaded at ground height.....

the camel is that of the GHQ MIDDLE EAST FORCES
