Question Running in

I think the trucks look new issue David

If I were to guess I would say it was somewhere in the south of England 1st Div were in the Arundel area and a lot of units went through Headley and Bordon between 1941 and 1942.

There are two options for the photo, one is a field park and the guy in the photo has just picked up a new bike. In which case he and it are not related to the trucks, or ..........

They are all part of the same unit in which case it is a Canadian Field Artillery unit, my knowledge of brigading is not that hot so I would question why 25 lbs tractor units are alongside LAA tractors.

I would therefore go with my first assumption and say that it is a replacement depot Field Park around the late summer of 1942. Given that we should be able to narrow down the location between us all.

I can't decide what the Div or Corp plate is on the nearest truck

Pete
