Default GPA

P 5219692 to 5219876 and P 5219881 to 5219981, delivered under Ministry of Supply Deamand S/M 2820. However I cannot see any evidence of an account for GPAs in the 1944 Canadian report on vehicles supplied by the British to the Canadians.

My notes say:

"'Amphibian 5 cwt 4x4 SM2820' has dates of 30-4-44, 17-5-44 and 19-4-43, however, does not say to what the dates refer. Other notations on the front of the card are also meaningless to me. The card has allocations on the back, namely UK (Admin) 8, UK 330, ME 111, India 164 and S Africa 8. This totals the 621 vehicles. It appears only 386 were allocated Census Numbers at that time."
