General Service Wagon data plate

[harry2111]

hi all

 

just thought I'd share my nice metal detecting find from the site of a WW1 Canadian Army Service Corps headquarters - a rather nice "Wagon General Service" data plate from Nov 1915. It was found near the site of the former stable block.

Lovely find!

 

Someone here will undoubtably be able to tell you which company made it. I shall look forward to reading further!

 

Thanks for posting.

TA Ltd could well be Taskers of Andover. The Hampshire County Museum holds their factory records I believe.
