Carriers in U.S. Service

[John McGillivray]

The story of the Canadian equipment, including UC’s, being sent to the Philippines, is in Volume 1 of the official history of the Canadian Army in WWII. It was being shipped to Hong Kong on an American owned ship. However, half way across the ocean, the US Navy ordered the ship to divert to Manila. While the Canadians were fighting for their lives in Hong Kong, their heavy weapons and vehicles were sitting on the docks in Manila, courtesy of the US Navy.
