Close up. I have over 3,000 images in my CMP folder and it took some time to find it. I have cropped the image to show the lead vehicle.

Now for my comments and questions...

First truck is a C8 the other 3 seem to be Ford F15a followed by FGT....

On the pass plate they all have 17 ...... would that be the convoy number......

They all seem to have "blank" bridge plates....

First truck has RD on the grill guard..... Radio Truck perhaps....? the following truck has M3... any meaning???

Interesting to see how they have the tarp rolled up on the the F15a...... must have been a warm Summer day.....

Anybody care to decide what province/year the license plate is/from......

To bad I can't make out the lettering on the door...

...similar to other period pictures that have

Regt de Chaud
