Thanks, but I was more thinking of something like Gigantic was towing. Been researching Foremost a bit and it was definitely in the army service corps. Quite fancy a big high sided trailer in WD or some WW1 artillery but there isn't much of left.

Interestingly the Eagle has WW1 'Subsidy' pattern recovery hooks on it. Ive not dated it 100% but it was built sometime between 1907 and 1912, so it would 'fit' as being Great war era.

The hooks on the chassis

Same type on a FWD, Ive seen the same ones on other Great War lorries, Dennis, Thornycroft etc
