Great news for all fans of British military vehicles. Eighteen British Military Transport editions from 1939-1945 are available for purchase or viewing online. They contain a large number of photographs. Unfortunately, the author clearly lacks information on some vehicles (such as Leylands). The most interesting and rare photographs have also been unfortunately reduced in size.

1.The truck looks a lot like a Crossley, but what model is it? The cab layout is similar to the Thornycroft A5 for India http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...51&postcount=2. The radiator guard has two crossbars, and the design is similar to that installed on the Crossley IGL6 and IGL8.

3. Crossley IGL8. British Military Transport 1939-1945

1. In the publication British Military Transport 1939-1945 (Part 13), this truck is designated as the AEC 644 Marshal.
2. AEC 644 Marshal from the same publication.
3. Comparison of both vehicles. Differences include the headlight placement, radiator guard design, radiator mask, and the presence of towing eyes.
4. The truck in the first photo is very similar to the AEC Mammoth.

1. British half-track, 19 february 1935 . The drive sprocket (or idler sprocket?) is very similar to the one fitted to the Burford half-track. But the car itself doesn't seem to resemble a Burford.
2,3. Half-track Burford 30 cwt 1926.
4. Half-track Burford with a caterpillar drive of a different design.
How were the models of all the above mentioned machines designated ?

1. Mobile searchlights, Palestine 1936. I identify this truck as a Crossley IGL8.
2. Crossley IGL8, British Military Transport 1939 -1945, Part 13. This truck is likely from the same unit. What is the purpose of the "mailbox" mounted on the cab?
3. Crossley IGL2 or its civilian version, the 30/70 HP?
4.5. Crossley IGL2 in both civilian and military versions http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/hi...IGL2/IGL2.html

3. Albion ? It's very similar to the 131, but has a different headlight layout. There was also a 133, but I couldn't find any information about it.
