Canadian Military Headquarters Historical Section
 

Thought some might find this photo of interest.

Cheers :)

Caption: Personnel of the Canadian Military Headquarters Historical Section, London, England, 19 April 1944

That's the famous C.P. Stacey, front and centre, in forage cap.

Psst!, Clive........ read the small print ...... between the Caption line and the Source line :p

At my age I can't read the small print. I thought that I was doing pretty good by recognizing him by sight alone. :confused

Another Great Thing about Historians
 

Stacey rode in style...Nice HUP.

Any idea whom the rest may be?
(Of course I'm reffering to balmoral-topped fellow)

HISTORIAN'S WORTH
 

The attached report offers some interesting insights into the Cdn Army's equipment program during WWII. There is a good chance that some of the report was compiled by C.P. Stacey and gang in that lil ole HUP in the photo above...

The txt file format is not very pleasing, but you can use the Edit/Find menu to look up a particular vehicle or piece of equipment.

The Heavy Utility section is quite interesting...

Blatant, self-serving, commercial announcement
 

You can also buy a copy of Tools of the Trade which takes the four wartime reports and distills them into a readable text, illustrated throughout with WWII photos of the equipment in question.

Cheers :D

Apparently, one can also buy a copy of Tools of the Trade (a Service Publication booklet, I believe), which takes the four wartime reports and distills them into a readable text, illustrated throughout with WWII photos of the equipment in question.

As well, the pdf format is much more readable. Thanks to both of you fine historians for the assistance.
