Default Wonderful....

Hi Keith

Looks like very early gun tractors with NO ventilation opening in front....door is dated 40-1-??? solid sliding roof hatch..??? stamped front bumper....

Could that be a camp in Canada..... Summer of 1940....close to Toronto???

Thanks for posting.

Bob

18 pounder of early Mark, probably Mk II, with Martin-Parry conversion to pneumatic tyres (or maybe a local equivalent conversion) so Mk IIP. Note the 18 pounder limber which had the same conversion.
