Default '41 Chevy

The blood truck is a 1941 Chev for those interested
I agree with Cliff. I suspect it was one of 3,150 Model 1543X2 or CC60L lorries, 3-tonners military, ordered by 25th June 1940 under Demand S/M 2005 and delivered to, and assembled by GM Near East Ltd, Alexandria; again for those interested. Some were allocated in the Mid-East L 449XXXX series. Looks as though it may have then been issued to the AIF, and then "sold", perhaps surviving to be repatriated to Aussieland?
