Horse Transport

That plate is not from november the denotes the mk of wagon a very unusual form of plate but its from a limbered wagon mk 11 built in 1915 of that I'm sure

Thats what the Registration plate is off a pair of Fore and hind GS Wagon Limbers ,currently on block and tackles in the workshop .

Ones from my collection

I have asked for some and will wait to be given them regards Nigel

I am going back there today on other business i will ask those questions regards Nigel

Me TOO ! Been invited for dinner a few times around there, many times been stopped by the locals and been shown great kindness !

I was offered a pair of 1917 dated rear Dennis Wheels today one with location for a spocket or something, have small brass date tag (1917) solid rubber tyres etc ! By a chap here in Tonbridge Regards Nigel

Why the Somme ? In 2014 and not 2016 0n the 100th anniversary of that battle and part of the war, Surely Mons is the place to commerate the 100th anniversary of the Great War its also the year the Ypres Salient was formed ! Again that year was dominated by Horse Transport and Equipment Just thinking out loud !
