Unit & Truck ID: 4 Line of Communication (Railhead) Company R.A.S.C.

[Bob Carriere]

Is the driver lying on his side or has the truck flipped????

Unit color sign could be red/Green for RASC or CDN....RCASC with a white cross for the theatre they were in.....like RCASC had a white bottom border for Canadian based vehicles....
PS...I have a shipping way bill addressed to Bashra.....crates contained 6 headlight assembly possibly for the desert 42 LRDG trucks or other Chev lend-lease trucks.

The truck is lyig on its side.
There were no Canadian units in North Africa - and this photo was taken on the road between Tobruk and Tripoli in Libya.

Would you recognize the "logo" with the camel?

[Bob Carriere]

.....nope...... but French people called out idiots...... Chameaux!!!!!!

Sure would make for easier off loaded at ground height.....

[wally dugan]

the camel is that of the GHQ MIDDLE EAST FORCES

Thank you, Wally - and would you have an idea on what is shown on the other plate?

I consulted my friend Bert Lindeboom and he told me “2264” stands for a RASC General Transport Coy. He cannot ID the number, but 2262 was 36 General Transport Coy and 2263 was 562 General Transport Coy.

Thank you Hanno - this is a good hint!
