Just resurrecting an old thread, given the recent pictures and info on the AEC Regal buses:

 

Here's a pic of an AEC bus on the 388th BG base. The lady on the right is Anna Nagle, who ran the Red Cross effort for the 388th at Knettishall.

 

The photo is posted with permission from http://portraitsofwar.wordpress.com - which contains some amazing colour images of WW2 and a big collection of WW1 American Dough Boy portraits. Well worth a visit or three!
