Only Australian Poona I can find is near Fraser Island in Queensland.

The AWM caption on that Poona photo says it is Karachi with airmen on their way to Poona RAF Base.

Hi ,

Recently I was looking more about my truck and I found this link

"https://hmvf.co.uk/topic/36886-indian-army-vehicles-in-indian-in-ww2/"

and it fascinates me also i came across one documentary life of Harry Birrell
that documentary is mainly from his life in CBI theater. I definitely recommend this documentary.

"https://www.imcdb.org/v001363080.html"


here you can see the formation sign of IV Corps on the left side on the mudguard.




Seniors kindly comment you can clearly see the Indian Pattern body style. I am planning to visit North East of India hope will get more info on these trucks , But seems we are having Covid restriction so I have to wait for a while , Admin if you find this post not relevant kindly delete it. thank you
