Gordon, thanks mate. However the French contracts that had not been shipped were assigned to the UK on 17 June 1940, and the papers make it absolutely clear that these Dodge trucks were taken on by the British. Interestingly I found that Lend-Lease when it finally kicked in did not apply to vehicles etc. already in ship/en train, and so these had to be paid for in dollars.
May I refer you all to this thread that I have been working on please?
