Thanks , Tom, for your input. Canada, which was largely an agricultural
country in 1939, had produced the following by September 1945: 409,936
CMP's, 30,357 'modified conventional' trucks, 50,241 armoured vehicles
of various descriptions, and 91,436 'miscellaneous' vehicles. Few exist
today, and gawd knows what official records even survive. The fact
remains that these vehicles ended up all over the world, equipping [in
part] most of the Commonwealth armies wherever they were engaged.
I haven't heard of your book, but I'll certainly look for it. My
reference volume, by the way, is a (well-dog-eared) copy of something
published privately by one Dr. Willian Gregg back in 1978 here in
Ontario. I don't know what became of him or his substantial collectionof
vehicles, but I'm in the process of finding that out.
