world war I nerd Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share #153 Posted April 30, 2017 Time for another update. I've accumulated quite a few vehicle photos over the past few months. No markings on this one. But what's interesting about this 2nd Division motorcycle & sidecar is that it appears to have been given a coat of white(?) camouflage paint.

world war I nerd Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share #168 Posted April 30, 2017 Not sure if this vehicle, which is plainly marked "Fire Marshal", is of Army origin or if it was a civilian acquisition. Nevertheless it was the personal vehicle of the AEF fire marshal of a major French city (I forget which city it was). Note the brassard worn by the fire marshal (far left), which is thought to point out the fact the officer is the senior U.S. Army fire fighter of the area.
