Default Re: Corps Signals pics

Jon, I've made a link to some of these photos so readers of this forum can match your comments to the pics.

In the first of four shots, the left hand Chev looks to be a Lorry, 3T, Wireless (C33).

In between the two vehicles, looks to be a Trailer, Generator, 2 KW.

Interesting to note that the Chev, having the C33 set, sports a single series of "F" sections of rod antennae, while the 15cwt on the right displays the "V" Laporte twin antenna array.

Both the DR and the RadOp appear to be wearing the CVSM and clasp. I think that that would date the photos, since I believe that that decoration was only authorized for wear during the latter part of the war.

The Corporal RadOp appears to be holding the "daffodil" type microphone assembly for the C33 set, perhaps using a remote unit as would be used in a penthouse.

Hope this helps,
