Question about "Godfrey Pope's kar"
Permalink   


In the book "Talbot House" (Poperinge-Belgium) is written that Tubby (the leading priest of the Talbot house) made several "trips" visiting the front troops. He uses different ways to get from Poperinge to the front line: walking, cars, carts. One of the vehicles he used was a Godfrey Pope's kar.

In Dutch "kar" = cart (horse or donkey drawn) but it is quite possible that it is a wrong translation from English and it is meant a Car. I mean last is correct because Tubby says it was very "luxury".

Question is was there existing a "Godfrey" car in WW1 (didn't found one on Google) and what was the "Godfrey Pope car" (A Britisch version of the Belgian "Chapel car" (somewhere on this site) or was it a vehicle belonging to Mr Godfrey (Singer/songwriter during WW1)-See Pic below (and that is, my opinion, a luxury car)?
