Default Gallows device on side

For the overseas readers , the device on the side of the Australian radio van is a gallows . This was used to threaten POW's under interrogation . If the captured enemy would not co operate , a rope was slung through the gallows eg. hangmans noose type of thing . The poor captured enemy would then devulge all his knowledge . Sneaky hey !


It also doubled as a lifting jib for heavy items like , jerrycans of petrol or spare wheels stored on the roof .

Mike
