Good day Matt,
Welcome to the forum.
I have a Salvation Army Ford jeep, it has both Salvation Army and Australian Comforts Fund logos painted under the windscreen. The jeep was sold to Ford Motor company in Australia after the war.
I contacted the Salvation Army and they did a really good article in their War Cry magazine about the history of the vehicle.
I have taken it to a couple of shows in its very unrestored condition, I have a story board titled Christian Soldier that gives the known history of the jeep.
I have searched the Australian War Memorial photos and the book Salvos With The Forces, but there is no photo of my jeep. I have only found 1 jeep with the exact same painting under the windscreen as my jeep, but it isn't the same registration number as mine.
Looking forward to see what you turn up on the British side of the Salvos.
Ken
