...there were diverted Belgian [Army?] and possibly French orders for these trucks that were largely diverted to England and then sold on by the Ministry of Supply for essential civilian users. Some were cab-less and Duples offered their own horrible version to suit! I believe from memory that Bart V said that some of these and similar GMCs were landed in France at La Rochelle and seized by the Germans. I also believe from memory that GM France in Gennevilliers assembled a large number of these trucks, for the French Army [?] and the Germans seized them as well.


Books are GO! Am working on editing the first book's text, and have sorted the photos. On reading again afresh my text I have established so much more about CMP development from 1935 [starting with the Ford and Chevrolet armoured cars] than I thought possible. There are so many answers to long-standing queries that I hope the books will answer. I know we will have say four books guaranteed, and I expect there to be say two more at least.
