Description: | Standard British Army truck of World War One. This type was purchased in large numbers from its American manufacturer becuase it was four wheel drive - very rare for a truck type at this time.
Sold by War Department after the First World War to a West Ham haulage contractor and kept by them until 1960. Then to Wynns Heavy Haulage in South Wales and restored for their centenary in 1964. Then to George Hardwich at West Ewell who kept it under lock and key until purchased by R Peskett in 1984. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | FWD = Four Wheel Drive Auto Company | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
