It is a Holt 120, like this one:

A good number of LGOC and Daimler trucks. Could be either 1915 or 1919.

This is book no 13 in the superb Tankograd series “Imperial German army weapons and soldiers of the Great War 1914-1918”.
Published in English, spread over 96 pages it has 235 incredibly sharp photographs almost all of which have never been published before.
Fourteen chapters explaining the operation of the German medical service; chain of evacuation, horse drawn ambulances; motor ambulances by manufacturer; ambulances of civilian aid organisations; medical staff cars, trucks, busses, trailers as well as the more unusual methods of evacuating the wounded such as cable cars, trams and narrow-gauge railways.
What makes these book so remarkable is the large number of incredibly detailed photographs for which the author has drawn upon his own collection. I have been collecting WW1 images for over 30 years and clearly understand how much effort has gone into establishing such an amazing archive and which I am genuinely thrilled to see published.

Wow. Sold for $39,250. Is it military or not? An expert on the sales site says no as TBC is not a military designation, but the US Army purchased lots of TBC's so i dont know what he is talking about. Chassis number is 46008, but i dont have the White chassis number list. Does anybody else have it?

L to R Mike Sutcliffe, Brian Brown, Steve ?, Mick Giles, Barry Weatherhead, Oscar Schneider, ? , Clive Peerless and my dad Mike Simmonds. My dads Seddon Atkinson lorry transported the Peerless back to Milton Keynes. The date was Feb 1981, I was 13 years old and as I'm not in the picture I think I might have took it as I remember one of the team handing me a camera. Keep up the excellent restoration work !.
These are the names as remembered by Clive.
Mike Sutcliffe, Brian Brown, Steve Burburrah, Mick Giles, Barry Wetherhead, Oscar Schaudaa, Ken Peerless, Clive Peerless and Mick Simmonds.
Nearly a match.
Are you in this photo Andy:

Just out of curiosity and because this topic needs some excitement to get it really going. 1962 RAF Farnborough, during the Cuban missile crisis. A Fordson major breaks down while cutting the grass and they call out an external agricultural engineer. Surely, the site is so big they would have their own RAF maintenance personnel who would be well aware of the repair and maintenance requirements for their own equipment and would not call in a company of agricultural engineers to fix it. I expect that there is a logical explanation for this though. Anybody?

We already did that a few years ago on this forum. We need something new and original to find and then disprove the existence of.

It might be an idea to mention Andy's other thread and see if we can draw any comparison:

We all believe the subject to be absurd yet we cant stop looking. It is like a long drawn out car crash. Every ridiculous claim is given an explanation. Lets see what happens to this one.
The father chiselled off 100's of data plates off tanks. Chiselled off, not unscrewed, so they were rivetted on? How long does it take to chisel off one data plate, or hundreds, or the 1,400 that either were or were not chiselled off? He had a long attention span i suppose? He did not at any stage think "Sod this for a game of soldiers, I am off to the pub".

Yes, indeed. Winston Churchill definition of a fanatic A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

I am joking of course. This picture was taken in Germany. Or was it?

I have to congratulate you on a stunning piece of statistical analysis. Just beautiful. A quick question or two though. Where would these 1,000 people eat and drink? Would they be allowed off site and into town during their down time? Is there anything which would prevent them from talking to a bar maid and saying "You would never guess what I have been doing". As the war had ended, would they be allowed to carry cameras and photograph what they had seen.

Yes, 37. If it was 17 the date would be on the handle.

Only two pre 1920 trucks. Super looking auction though.

I think it is at Ford Nelson now.
