Eric; Here is a bit of info that may help with your research.

I have acquired an M100 trailer from another MLU member who very thoughtfully had it stored inside for many years. The trailer retains many or all of its in-service attributes. As mentioned above, the trailer is S/N 1250 and has a matching CFR of 53-71250 stamped on the drawbar. It has 18 SVC tac symbol, which might be the former 18 Service Bn (now 18 Service Company) from Thunder Bay. Any other thoughts?

There is/was some stenciling on the rear panel (under the CFR plate), that says something that includes the words: plug, before, and fording. Im assuming it is a warning to open and close the floor drain plugs before and after fording. Does anyone know the exact wording of that text? I plan to leave the coloring and markings "as is", so I don't want to do any sanding on the rear panel at this point. There is also a painted over diamond-shaped decal in the upper right corner of the rear panel, which Im guessing is the Mobile Command insignia. It also has the tie-down loops attached to the front corners. It was equipped with a convoy light (the white target and light bracket are still there, but the light is missing).
