Letters, diaries and photographs from World War II

Tuesday 31st October 1944

More time on the disinfect. The Dodge presents difficulties but work proceeds. Ken Towel came into dinner as he is leaving for Gauhati Wednesday. Then a posting.

The Dodge WC series was a range of light military trucks produced by Dodge and Fargo during World War II. The series included weapon carriers, telephone installation trucks, ambulances, reconnaissance vehicles, mobile workshops and command cars. They were replaced after the war by the Dodge M-series vehicles. WC was a Dodge model code: W for 1941 and C for half-ton rating. The C code was retained for the ¾ ton and 1½ ton 6×6 Dodges.
