Jack,
I have indeed seen that thread on your Ford WOT 8 and will be following it. The book I refer to was actually mentioned in the next post by Ken! "Salvos With the Forces". Written or I should say compiled by Salvation Army historians most of the information in the book is pulled from the Salvation Army periodical "The War Cry" and from some radio transcripts.
Ken,
That is fascinating! Can you point me to the issue date of your article? The different national commands of The Salvation Army have their own War Cry publishing. But I'm in regular contact with some of the Australian staff and could get an archived copy through them. I don't have my copy in front of me right now, but doesn't Salvos With the Forces actually give a count of how many Jeeps, mobile canteens etc were in use?
Hanno,
Before this gets out of hand is there a single best place in the forum to make a repository for all of this? Use this thread or set up shop in a different section of the forum?
Thanks all!
Matt
