I do not know what this probably underpowered 4 cylinder British vehicle is, waiting to pick up an Australian 25 pounder in Syria 1941. At least that is what the caption says. I can't believe these vehicles were used as gun tractors. More than likely the Australian Marmon-Herringtons are out of shot and the British convoy is just driving past the Australian gun position.

Hi Lang,

This British vehicle is a 6-cyl. Humber Snipe based truck, 8 cwt FFW, I am sure they did not have a hitch on and would not have been a suitable towing vehicle. The photographers caption leaves a lot to be desire!

By the way, good luck on your trip, must be near the start time now.
