36 Coy ASC
[QUOTE=Voltigeur;403377]© IWM (Q 4820)
Unloading a store train at railhead. Frechencourt, March 1917. © IWM (Q 4823) A view of a group of lorries at the railhead at Frechencourt. The lorry on the left bears the mark of the 10th Motor Ambulance Convoy, and the vehicle next to it, First Division with #36. Frechencourt, March 1917. This unit is 36 Coy ASC 1st Divisional Train ASC I'm actually writing the history of the Company as we speak. When it is finished I promise it will be a great read for you all. I visited all of the areas of operations for the 1st Divisional Train just last year, with Theresa. They were in the Bethune area during 1917 which is correct for this image, as Frenchencourt was an area near to Bethune. What a fantastic image Jo, thank you ever so much for sharing.
