alf mcm Posted 9 October , 2021 Share Posted 9 October , 2021 If it is 1 Heavy Repair Shop, then the war diaries will tell you where it was located. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_col=200&_hb=tna&_q=WO+95%2F1+REPAIR+SHOP+319 Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeldr Posted 10 October , 2021 Share Posted 10 October , 2021 Looking at Michael Young's book, there were three Repair Shops: No.1 at Paris, No.2 at Rouen and No.3 at St Omer. Each seems to have specialised to a certain extent. Young gives No.1 as handling (lorries) Commer, Halley, Hallford, Napier, Swiss Berna, Wolseley and all French makes (cars & ambulances) Austin, Napier, Siddeley-Deasy, Talbot and all French cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
