Re: Where is it now?
Clive;
I wonder where they all are now? The four pictures below were all taken in the United Kingdom through the course of 1940 and appeared in "CANADA'S WEEKLY" (No. 3011, Vol. CXVI), Firday, December 20, 1940. Pictures: # 1: Canadian Knights of Columbus Tea Car # 2: Canadian Salvation Army Tea Car # 3: Canadian Legion Tea Car # 4: Canadian YMCA Tea Car There not very good pictures. Cheers

'40 Ford
I have a printed photo from a wartime Ford of Canada magazine of a 1940 Ford with house-type teabar body, donated by Canadian civilians apparently.

Tea wagons, et al
There are a surprisingly large number of images at Nat'l Archives showing these Auxiliary Services vans in operation. One sticks in my mind as it was presented by the Toronto Press Club (plaque attached to vehicle) and was first used serving tea and biscuits to the London Press Gallery's Home Guard unit.
There are others but also, in the same vein, several CMP dental labs were presented by the Canadian Dentist's Association, etc... Canada authorised four Auxiliary Services and you have named all of them; viz, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, Canadian Legion and YMCA. In the beginning each group tried to be all things to all soldiers but finally CMHQ waded in to stop the bickering and duplication and each Auxiliary became expert in a specific domain. I don't remember off-hand who was who but some provided comforts, others the tea wagons, others hostelries and others...? I'll look it up.
