is it possible to visit this? there can't have been many in Italy, wonder if it was one of 400 battery's?

Hi, hope I'm posting this in the right place, I'm trying to find out what the sign means on the wing of this Thornycroft searchlight truck? The men in the photo are in 51 Northamptonshire s/l reg ta, 400 (indep) s/l btry to be exact, taken I think in Italy 43/44. Anyone know what the sign is?

Thank you Richard, do you know where the 1st pic was taken? what part of the world?

they are 400 indep sl btry 51 Northamptonshire reg RA ta, somewhere in Italy in 1943, I'd love to know what the vehicle markings ment, i know 400 battery where sent to north africa in january 43 with the 30 surrey sl reg, then after being in algers and tunisia they whent to italy later in 43 but not sure who with? as searchlight seemed to be in short supply and seem to have been split up? (my dads in the top pic 3rd from left sitting on the step in vest).

I know this is an old thread but im after as much info on the thorneycroft s/l truck as i can get.
