Infantry unit jeep with stretcher
Clive,
I just found 3 photo's of a jeep belonging to the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher.The jeep has no red crosses on it and the 3rd photo shows 2 soldiers behind the jeep.Can you tell if they are sitting on the back of a trailer?I don't see another vehicle behind or are they just standing behind the jeep?What do you think?All 3 photo's don't have a clear shot behind the jeep. Derk.

Dirk, the black out light and bridging disc over the headlight is the British spec on the Jeep.

ambulance jeeps
Hello
I have copies of orders (1944) indicating that all of the drain holes of Car 5cwt 4x4 were to have the drain holes enlarged so that they would be able to accomodate the later two tier style stretcher rack. This could be installed without any other modifications to the jeep. Generally the bandsmen in the Regiments performed medic and stretcher bearer roles. Most of these jeeps did not have the red cross painted on them, but had flags on them when needed. Those used exclusively as ambulance jeeps had the crosses painted. Based on the photo you are using, this would be a RCAC unit as Clive indicated. R (rear) and F (front) makes sence for the tire pressure. In your jeep photo. The Canadians also used the bridge plate and black out light. The edges of the front bumper are painted white. This is not a CDN contract jeep, but could be one bought used or on a non CDN specific contract. It has the later style stretcher bracket, which clips into the door strap hooks and drain holes in the front, and clamps onto the rear panel. It sits inside the body width opposed to the earlier style which sits on the outside on brackets. On the earlier style they also relocated the spare tire to the drivers side. Eric

Tyre pressures
British practice was usually just to put (eg) TP 30 above the wheel to which the pressure related. No need for F or R as it's obvious!
