Mobile Canteen

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

GGC 746 would appear to be a 1940-on London County Council one. I would quite happily affirm that the canteen appears to me to be a 1940 Chevrolet WA. I can't tell if it's lhd or rhd. I have numerous chassis numbers off 1940 WAs used by the Red Cross, St John Ambulance, hospitals et al. They were all Tarrytown-built, mostly June build with some July build, and may have been diverted cargos from ex-French or Belgian orders, and all were chassis with flat-face cowl as the intended assembly plant was supposed to produce a cab. I know that Duples did a hard cab similar to the US one, but they could have produced a utility cab as well: see WHEELS & TRACKS for a photo of an ATS/FANY '40 WA ambulance.
