CMP crash 1942
 

Hi all,
For the last year Ive been tracing the life of my grandfather who was a truck driver in the Queens Own Rifles during ww2. Tragically this was also how he died in that he was thrown from the cab of ,I believe, a C60L here in England in February 42. It appears the cab was 'three up' and he was sitting on the battery box in the centre of the cab when it overturned on a bend.
Having no knowledge of CMPs (but learning!) does anyone have or know where I can find interior pictures of a C60 cab so I can see what the inquest is talking about??
Many Thanks
Si

You can see the battery box between the seats. It would have been a rough ride!

Hi Peter my grandfather was Arthur Frederick JACKSON B64050. We've spoken already via email and you've already been a great help. Hope all is good at Casa Loma.
Paul, thats ideal, thanks very much. Looking at the pic that must have been a rough ride, no wonder the inquest said that troops were not aloud to sit there! Thanks gents.
