Truck Identification in the area of SOLLUM

[Bill Murray]

There is definitely a story here for David to investigate. There are an awful lot of Fords respresented here, all to a fairly common Middle East design, that I have never seen before. There must be some evidence of a fairly large contract/contracts awarded by the Egyptians or the British during the period 1933/4 up to 1941 that has not to my knowledge been reported on very much.

Most of the stuff I have seen, mainly via Bart, had to do with the LRDG lads.

Have at it David.

Oh, and Tony, we can also thank Islam for pretty near perfecting the use of IEDs but that is a story for another day.

Cheers
Bill
