On His Majesty’s Service, circa 1915

THIS BRASS-RAD MODEL T Ford served as a commissary wagon for the 83rd Battalion with Major Wilson and Captain Barker around 1915. Although Henry Ford’s favourite colour for the Model T was black, this T was an exception. The year 1915 was automotively significant in Canada for two reasons: Tommy Russell of Toronto stopped building cars bearing his name, and William Gray of Chatham, Ontario, began his ten-year run of building Gray-Dorts.
