Deuce ´n ´half ID

[Bill Murray]

Hi Janne:

I do not want to burst your bubble, but I think we are going to end up declaring this vehicle a GMC of some sort, possibly with some field modifications.

To be sure, Studebaker and even International Harvester 2 1/2 tonners were supplied to the Soviet Union from late 1942 on.

The date you give for the photo would not seem to fit a Studebaker for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I doubt a Studebaker would have found it's way from Russia to the UK that quickly and secondly, the photo is of the "Free Czechs" for lack of a better term and not Czechs who fought later for the Allies or the Germans using Russian Lend Lease equipment

As always, I could be wrong and am happy to see other comments. Actually, I am wrong rather often but in the good cause of solving hard questions I consider it good fun.
