Just wish I could have restored the 1918 Liberty Truck to drive her down Pennsylvania Ave. but it's a project too expensive and mechanically needy at this point.
Cantigny (1 ID Museum) and my friend Ian in England are just getting their "Standard B" trucks finished up from restoration, at least some will be done.

Hello,
That is a great video from England, very nice to see.
Thanks for posting it !
The Anniversary of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and Victory is at hand.
Over 26,000 American GI's were lost in that huge battle, that ended WW1 in Victory.
They need to be remembered, and all who served in WW1.
The French remember as well as other European countries, I wonder how many Americans remember ?
I was talking yesterday with 2 WW2 Veterans from the 70th Division, and their Fathers served in WW1.
One ended up in the same hospital in Nancy, that his father was in during WW1, the both got a kick out of that !
His father was in the 80th Division during the Meuse Argonne Offensive.
Best Regards,
Ray
