  1. The COMMER Q2 30 cwt is listed with the number four
  2. Check the chassis rails for any information plates that may still show military service .That will be a place to start
  3. Both made in ww2 but you would need more details before making a any comment on dates
  4. THE truck is listed as a fordson wot 2 and the armoured car is a GM OTTER the standard vanguard pick up version was first made in 1947
  5. As l said l would stand to be corrected
  6. you will find KERUING was used a lot for trailer floors it's a hard wood
  7. This is my understanding the eighth army was disbanded in JULY 1945 the red and green of the RASC was used until 1965 when the RCT was formed and the yellow and blue arm of service replaced the red and green l will stand to be corrected also B401 was based in NIGERIA the REME officer in charge was a CAPTAIN SMYTH. The markings may have been placed on by some one after the vehicle was sold from the army
  8. I have located the workshop location of B 401 in 1952 but am a bit puzzled as it in west AFRICA. In the past l have come across a workshop number been allocated to different location in the same period also the information states this is a REME operated one not a auxiliary army one. l have received a forty four page report on the operation of both REME and auxiliary workshops that was done in the 50s and it makes interesting reading as all was not well with them . So at the moment l am looking closer at other locations for B 4OI at the time given to make sure that the location is correct the search will go on until I am sure
  9. NUMBERS 85 YW 70 TO 99 YW 99 were allocated to Bedford 3 ton oy Bedford battery slave Austin lab bacteriological and Austin gantry Also numbers 01 YW 01 TO 85 YW 69 were allocated
