Ken,

COD = Central Ordnance Depot, ie issued from Bandiana.

A 'G52' is an issue form, and the form number for this issue was 178, issued on 30 March 1942.

A copy of the form would have wend its way through to the Reverse Lend Lease people for adding the financial amount to the RLL account, and later, once the vehicle was returned, another form would have, in theory, wend its way to the RLL account's people to credit the reduced/used value to the other side of the account ledger.

Mike

Thanks Mike C, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, and confirming the truck went to Reverse Lend Lease.
Your explanation has added another dimension to the old trucks life, that is having waited at Bandiana some time in early 1942 for assignment to a unit, in this case the U.S. Army.
It would be nice to have it in the collection for that reason alone, I hope it hasn't survived 78 years to end up at the scrap metal yard.
Ken

No connection to the vendor, but there's a Cab 12 roof in Victoria:

Very good score Robert! Our troops had to out up with the one size fits all Australian publication which covered all the models we had here, same thing was done with the Ford handbooks.

This guy sounds like he's had a hard time. Someone give him a break. Actually looks like it might be a good truck, too.
