Aussie Oddities

[Bill Murray]

I also found these on the same site.
First a Ford used by Aussies in Burma. Does not resemble any Fords I have seen before.

Next a FWD described as being driven by Indians in Persia.
Would they be delivering to the Russians Lend Lease Vehicles?

Next a DUKW used by Australian Forces.
Don't see many photos of these.

And for now an Autocar Tractor and trailer, also very unusual to see in Aussie service.

A water heating unit for providing hot water for bathing of the troops.

Bill that Pic is captioned 'American Truck'. On the door it is marked as a US Army vehicle. So rather then one of our Aussie trucks it is one of yours operating with your forces stationed here in Australia.

Bill on the dics I sent you are a large number of DUKW's in Aussie service.

Bill they may well be delivering the vehicles to the Russians but I think that a large number of the troops guarding Persia at that time were Indian troops.

The Ford

I think is a local Indian bodied vehicle.
