just found out that Uncle Forrest was a truck mechanic in WWI ! We're talking his-tech Now! those computer jerks don't know what high-tech is! , and Uncle Bion McBride was a US Navy Wireless Radio operator (those were brand new too!) the Navy sent him to Harvard for his training! - And Uncle Fred Keller was Army Aviation in WWI ! - he was (in a certain organization) an actual son! - Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War - my membership is thru him.
In France two makes started to make trucks after WW I . They modificated the Liberty, it was Willéme and AS Lavigne. By the radiator's cap some drivers introduced tin can. Like this they could eat hot. 🖐🇨🇵
The British used London Busses, as transport, ambulances and lorries in WW1. Look up the Ole Bill, in the Imperial War Museum. Rolls Royce made Armoured Cars, as well as Morris in Oxford, and T. E. Laurence had a number of Armoured cars under his command. I don't know of any more than these examples, but the standardised layout of the three pedals is so that a soldier can drive all of the different makes of truck, without having to decide which one they are in, before deciding which pedal to press.
my grandfather took munitions to the somm ww1 did he have to load up with blow-up dismembered and shot dead bodies of the young boys who were slaughterd on mass there ,could this be why he never talked about it?

Apparently Britain, France, Belgium and Italy did not produce any trucks for use in the Great War.
