high-res or original copies of the 1937-40 prototype CMP photos..Ford and Chev, and also any early 1940 trucks please without the ventilation holes.

Rolly Jerry and I dialogued before his tragic death through Cancer and he sent me several photos that I have had copied and am using.

Pic below comes from the article 'Canada's Wartime Prototypes' by Rolland Jerry, published in Vintage Canada, vol.5/2 of March/April 1978 (thanks Brian!). It shows a 1937 Ford 4x2 15-cwt infantry truck, which Sid Swallow took to Camp Petawawa for its trails.

Also, check Colin Stevens' CMP site for a picture of a line-up of six of these trucks. Colin has a good number of early wartime pictures of pilot vehicles, and some pictures of surviving vehicles as well. Worthwile to include in your book!?!

HTH,
Hanno
