British GMC CCKW?

[Nick Balmer]

Hello Hanno,

This very interesting photo has featured before in a number of conversations at the Cambridge branch of the MAFVA over the years.

We have often wondered if it was either a GMC 2.5 tonner or perhaps a Diamond T 4 tonner.

Is there something diagnostic about the rear of either of these types of trucks that would definitely resolve the identification question.

It must have been quite a burden on these trucks to pull a 17 pdr laden.

The Poles had a lot of GMC's in Italy including some very colourful two tone ones in their Sapper units.

Regards
