Prehaps if we take this thread up to 1945 and include any pre or wartime produced vehicles including demobbed post war items could go in to the military heavyweight thread or maybe start the same over there.
So to kick off here are a few Ward La France photos

Les, here are two Ward LaFrance wreckers hard at work pulling something heavy (unidentified) out of the mud with what appears to be a Scammel waiting behind. Derek.
