john1950 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 In the background one truck to identify as well as a boat I think the other truck may be to far away to get a positive i/d on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Truck could be a Crossley? Boat also enlarged, but don't see a second lorry? (ah behind the boat!) Lex Edited May 25, 2021 by welbike additional info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welbike Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks, it is what it is, but I have some of these boxes, I will check if they have markings, but they were overpainted, and used untill the 50's but now I can check in the right spot. The paper lables were printed in red I believe. Cheers, Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1950 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 These last series of photo's put a human cost on warfare, the men laying in the ditch and a pilot and possibly another in the aircraft. Maybe even casualty's on the crash site. Sobering reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the way that you have "colourised" the images, it is very effective and to my eye adds a whole extra dimension. I've no idea how you do it, but it is great, thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XS650 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The Wehrmacht soon had them up and running. I believe around 700 Pioneers were left in France . Very useful kit for the Germans and pop up in many soldiers photos. WIth five makers of Gardners under licence in Continental Europe spares not too hard either.
