This IWM Image clearly shows the I Corps spearhead and 24 which makes this vehicle part of 105 Fld Pk Coy RE. The IWM Caption for this image is: Lorries carrying troops of the BEF through Brebieres, 11 September 1939.
The CMDG Major J Mail of 105 Corps Fields Park Coy had a "Mission" stamped on 15/11/1942 and does anyone have a clue where about's ? Now this could of been a traing ops such as blowing up some dummy bridges in the field etc for furture operations at" Albam , W.E.F. 31 August 1943"?
Bit of a problem with this caption-The Coy didn't arrive in France (Cherbourg) until 20th September and looking at the diaries the nearest they got to Brebieres was Izel-lès-Équerchin about 5 miles away. I'll come back to this when I have more time.

It is Breberies. I just found the same place on GoogleStreetView http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachments/1940/100376d1361442198-105-field-park-company-royal-engineers-thenandnow-jpg
Bumping thread to remind Andy about it after he posted same photo on facebook and doubted the location.
