Thoughts

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

1. Cliff, I agonised over the photo as I was sure that it was a NZ registration, but thought that the truck must have in fact been in Australia. As I said the same thing clearly applied to the vehicles supplied to the NZEF as the AIF, but I have no idea about Indian Army vehicles yet.

2. Well spotted Mr H...I am sure that's a Chevrolet badge. Here's a better pic together with another Chevrolet I thyink.


The Ford nearest the camera says I think:

INF. (M.G.) T.C.
40- 1 -8

It appears that the 50? 1940 MODEL Ford 15-cwt G/S trucks may have had the first 1940 DND numbers, so would have been marked up as Census Number 40-1-1 and up.
