Sad about the WD number portion being cut away - all the more reason to look for the removed metal. At least we know who the first owner was (Father-in-law of the donor) and where it was (on the island as a fire fighting vehicle for the landowners) since 1945.

Some interesting vehicles turning up. On Goudge Island near the island where this UC turned up was found a Willys MB-BRT (British contract 1942 jeep). I owned it for awile and now it is being restored by Vince Hands in Maple Ridge, BC. This one appeared to have been a General's jeep as it had the hole in the bonnet for the flag staff. Only partial USA reginstration and WD numbers were found.
