Surplus to industry
The Renaults were offered for sale to industry throughout Canada. Many companies, such as Sorel Shipyards and others, stripped off the armour and used them as yard tractors. The Cdn War Museum received one of these unarmoured toys a couple of years ago. I have no doubt that if a concerrted effort were made to visit some of these older companies more could be found.
It makes me think that I should dig out the Archives file dealing with their disposal and track down some of the buyers.....
