  1. The caps will have been painted in service - Red for petrol, yellow for diesel, it was standard practise.
  2. That is correct and fits my Grandfathers service records. Some of the pictures are noted as "Salonika", some as "Macedonia" - which would be "up the line" and others "Egypt". For those unaware of this theatre of war, the British & French intervened in the area to support Serbia in its fight against Bulgaria which was allied to Germany. More men died of Malaria than enemy action... It looks as if the roads were a hazard too !
  3. OK, some more... The originals are stuck into an album as you can see. I could probably get better scans if I could work out how to get them out one by one... Winter 1917.
  4. Would pics of my Grandfather and his Peerless in Egypt and Salonika, northern Greece be of interest ? He was a chauffeur to a "posh" family before being conscripted...
  5. Sorry if this resurrection of the thread is a little late... I've an album of my grandfathers photographs from WW1 which features Peerless trucks quite heavily. He was a driver with 346 MT Coy ASC in Salonika, Northern Greece. This little sideshow ( Only 6 UK divisions involved !! ) was in support of "Poor Little Serbia", invaded by the Bulgarians.... I have more if they are of interest ? ...several featuring vehicles in ditches, so that may not have been the only bottle of White Horse involved... :-)
  6. Hello all. Gene here, based in Perthshire with several LR including a 1971 Lightweight.
