Wanted: Formation Signs & Vehicle Markings of the Australian Army 1903 - 1983

Dave, one of the problems you might run into is in some cases Field Arty Units lost their tractors on return from the Middle East and retraining in North Qld. [ mainly the No3 Marmons ] and were supplied tow vehicles from the Motor Pool, some pics show 2 X 25Pr,s behind one 6X6, and units in N-G using Jeeps and Dozers. The book is pretty rare from what I gather.

Hi Bob, Pool vehicles are always going to throw us off the scent ( even with todays practices) Being an old military man I get a tad anal about things being correctly represented. I know ( through AWM photos) that GMC's were used by our military to tow 25's in Korea and Malaya but I can't find any reference to studebakers being used. I would have thought that A Battery might have used them back in Australia during the late 50's /early 60's. As you may "de-duce" I want to tow a 25 behind a studebaker but want it to represent an actual unit. cheers Dave
