Someone told me that the Medical detachments, of course used a variety of vehicles, also used the M37s.
If so, how were they marked? Thanks

M43 Pics
Here are some pics; I'm guessing fairly accurate.

RE: M43 Pics
I appreciate it, but I am looking for any pics or info on marking a M37 cargo truck. I have the markings for an M43. Did they mark the hoods, the doors, or did they sew the Red Cross on the canvas covers?

RE: M43 Pics
I have never seen a M37 cargo truck marked with the red cross, even when it was with a medical unit.
I have seen several photos during WWII of Dodge WC 51s, WC52s, (4x4 cargo trucks) and the WC63s (Dodge 6x6), plus the GMC 6x6 marked with red crosses. They were used to carry medical suppies and as in one photo, the trucks were carrieing blood plasma.
I am saying I have never seen a photo, but in this hobby, I have learned to try not to say "never".
One of the few, Frank
