Default Mobile Signals Centre

With this one I have sweet memories. I was serving as a Sergeant with 3rd Signals Bn in Boden. In spring 1965 I was ordered to bring this bus to Kalix and 2nd Army Corps HQ.

The bus was a mobile signals centre. It was a 1939 Volvo with Fruehauf trailer. The coach was built by ASJ = Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstaderna = Swedish Railway Factory Ltd/Inc.

The memories are sweet for three reasons: 1) I met a lovely girl in Kalix, 2) I was promoted Warrant Officer and 3) the bus was very comfortable to work in. The temperature was ranging between some -15 to -20 centigrades but we managed to hold the coach warm.
