Middle East
This is all interesting. The AWM have many thousands of pics of the AIF in the field in Palestine, Egypt, Libya and Syria and Lebanon and so on. During the earlier time period 1940-41 , seems the dominant vehicles in terms of the types seen the pics, are the Ford and Chev civilian pattern ( these were shipped over with the AIF from Australia) and then to a lesser degree British stuff like Morris which were , I think, on loan .
By 1942 , going by the pics, the vehicles in use with the Australians in the M.E theatre are more ecelectic with stuff like CMP's included . But I can't say I've seen many pics of those Dodge T110 trucks in the AWM pics, can't think of one actually .
Some cab 12 C60 Chev. did come back from the M.E .
