Two more pictures of 13 Cab 15-cwt's in Normandy. I canīt tell if these are Fords or Chevs, however.

No idea if they are Ford or Chev, but the location is the city centre of Courseulles. The Parc with the wall next to it in the first picture, is now the parking lot in the centre of town.

The shapeless thing on the left of the photo is a Morris-Commercial C9/B SP Bofors gun - a very rare thing to find in a photo. I'd like to see a clearer copy of the photo if possible, where is it from?

I think this is an F15A.

Not WW2, but still wartime for the Dutch and Indonesians.

Not sure if this is F15 or F15A. RAAF 3 Sqdn personnel on leave trip to Naples, November 1943. Photo sent home by my father, that's him standing centre.

I'd guess F15 judging by the ride height.
