Sillys mb Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 These pictures are from my Grandfather in laws album and are taken in Shanghai in the 1930's. He served in the RASC (Reme) up until after the war and served in the Middle East including Tobruk. I can supply high resolution pictures if anybody is interested, just let me know your Email. Not the most exciting of pictures but previously unpublished. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks. Those are very interesting. Not sure what the third one down is. Not a Thornycroft. The chassis rails have the channel facing outwards so could be a White or a Halley or something else altogether. Anyway. Thanks for posting and PM sent.

Redherring Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes. I'd like to see that chassis in greater detail too. PM sent. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks for the pictures. I have no idea what the mystery truck is. Certainly not a Halley or a White. I will give it some thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redherring Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Have had a look at the high res photo. Thanks. The fairly unique-looking sub-frame suggests to me it is a Maudslay. Is it identical to the one being restored at the Coventry Transport Museum? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yes it is very similar. I think you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wonderful pictures. Excellent detail for what are supposedly "basic snaps". Thanks for posting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
