Hi Marco,
Congratulations are in order! This is always nice to know about your vehicle. Considering the number of vehicles produced in those days it is a needle in a haystack to find your own vehicle in a period photo. Hopefully you can find the names of the crew and maybe even get in touch if they are still among us mortals. Best of luck on your search. Cheers,

Hello Marco.
Great to learn a little piece of local Manitoba Regimental History is still alive and well in your hands. My wife's father and all of his brothers served in that Regiment and fortunately all made it back home. You might want to keep an eye out for a copy of the Regimental Diary which the surviving members of the Regiment had reprinted for a reunion here in Winnipeg back in the late 1980's. It has a complete personnel roster with wartime home addresses, as well as an inventory of all the vehicles they lost from D-Day to the end of the war. I believe all their equipment was parked at Deelen before they came home. Keep us up to date! David |

In the meantime I found out that the Sergeant on my Staghound was Sgt. Clifford N. Schaldemose.

There are 4 residential telephone listing for Schaldemose in British Columbia, one in Alberta and a sixth person in Falcon Lake, Manitoba. It is not much of a stretch to think this last person might recognize the name of Clifford Schaldemose.
