YOUR DODGE D-15 pictures - wanted!

[Erwin]

Hi everybody

I would like to encourage you to post PICTURES of Dodge D-15s.

1. Wartime or 2. restored and running.

My D-15 is on the road since 2010. It´s now rebuilt from (postwar Austrian) LH steering to (original) RH steering. Paintwork follows the GO. Only AFTER painting according the GO I found pictures of original D-15s in Italy - and luckily the camo scheme matched;-)

I followed the track of the vehicle:

Build date: 2 10 1943. No: 910 48 555. On the frame I found LIGHT STONE as basic color, but it was overall OD when it arrived in Austria. It came with the 8th Army via Italy. After the British forces left the truck was sold as surplus and used by a local blacksmith until the 1980ies. There I found it in a barn in 2004.

The livery resembles a vehicle of the 8th army, 78th Battleaxe Div. This Scottish division entered Austria from the south and played a role in the infamous massacre of the Cossacks in Carinthia by handing them over to the Soviets. Later it was a main part of the British Occupation Forces in Austria.

The blue marking stands for an engineer battalion.

The truck is very reliable, and I even regularly use it for shopping.

Alright, please go ahead and let me see YOUR pictures.

Cheers, Erwin
