Hello there

From the British Pathe site, some stills of 15-cwt (?) ambulances in the Far East.

Are these Canadian or Australian?

Default Photo enhance

Steve, I tried my ACD photo enhance program to pickup the lettering on the door of said ambulance but to no avail.
Those guys on CSI Miami make it look soooo easy.
Unfotunately the original image is just a bit too out of focus for this amateur to "fix"

Default Not Australian

From the shape of the air vent on the truck in the first pic, it's a Canadian built C15A.
Cheers

Those cabs may be Cdn-sourced, but not the bodies.

Default American field service c30 ambulance

Some more pics surfaced on FB, courtesy of Nigel Warwick:
Quote:
AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE C30 AMBULANCE - INDIA-BURMA 1944-45.
The American Field Service served in India and Burma in 1944-45 alongside British and Indian troops of 14th Army. Can anyone tell me the type and version/model of the CMP ambulances they were using? They are 30 cwt - possibly C30. The Ambulances are not the standard hard bodied C60 version used in Italy and North-West Europe, but seem to be canvas sided. Are these an "Indian-pattern" vehicle?
I believe these are "Ambulance Indian Army Type (Aust) No. 1". Could they have been built in India as well?
