The caption on this photograph reads ‘1500 weight Ford, Riga — Chickun road, May 1942’.

This photograph was taken by my Father, Bill Abbott, during his service overseas in the War.

This photograph was submitted to the People’s War site by Becky Barugh of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Shropshire CSV Action Desk on behalf of Sue Sharp who very kindly shared it with us. It has been added to the site with Mrs Sharp’s permission and she fully understands the site's terms and conditions.
