The photos were taken in the UK by someone serving in E Section, 2nd Canadian Divisional Signals. Unfortunately there are no specific dates on any of them except for one taken in Nov 1940. Show the 8-cwt FFW but not in great detail.

OK that explains the British antenna bases. I bet there are UK No. 11 sets inside those trucks. I was reading this on your web site: "The 8-cwt was a lightweight 4x2 vehicle that didn't see much operational service" The little Chev and Ford 8 cwt were widely used in North Africa and the Middle East. Photographs suggest that many 8 cwt vehicles served with British , Australian and NZ units. The enemy liked them as well.

Thanks Mike for the info on operational use. I'll be sure to fix up my page.
I'm still learning lots on the vehicles that Signals used so I certainly appreciate everyone's assistance.
