Thanks David,

So am I right in thinking that the ship cargos were mixed in make and that the vehicle crates were sorted on arrival in the UK back in to Ford & Chevrolet for the respective assembly points? So what would happen with the completed vehicles? Would these then be delivered to separate storage Ford & GMC depots or all mixed up? If an Army unit was indenting for a particular type of vehicle would it have specified a make or just a type as in GS 3 tonner and received a mix of British & Canadian vehicles.

BTW - I am particulary interested in how the new units were equipped prior to D-Day, such as those that had not seen action overseas before so had no 'old baggage' as far as vehicles were concerned.

Thanks in advance
