Geoff,

I recall reading about a diverted shipment of Carriers being put to use by a US Army unit somewhere in the Pacific...a long shot, will see if I can find out more.

Also, in Wartime T16 pictures Terry Johns posted two pictures, one showing a "Carrier being used by the US Army in the Pacific" (top) and a "T-16 heavily modified by Marines in the South Pacific" (bottom). Rod Shaver, however, doubts Army Motors magazine's claim these were in the Pacific Theatre with a U.S. unit - these could equally well have been photographed on a beach in the US. We need someone to start digging in US archives...
