thedawnpatrol Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi Guys Any of you know about bumper markings on British jeeps. I am just repainting a 1943 Willys MB in British 14th Army colours. I am painting the 14th Army sheild on the windscreen, but what markings go on the bumper or rear ? Regards Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Jules You have not bought another one have you? I think i might have a book on the subject of british markings. I will have a look. Have you still got my mine book? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodger Baz Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nice to see another jeep with the "forgotten army" markings, nice one :-D My Jeep has the 12th Army markings which my grandfather served with from 44 to 47. The book "The wartime Jeep in British service" has some great pictures of jeeps in Burma. You need a whte circle on the bumper for SEAC.
