Hanno,

There are 161 in the Aust Army vehicle registers. One of these was transferred to the RAAF.

The number disposed of/left in Australia by USAFIA, if any, has not been established.

Mike

Default Queensland Ambulance

A GPA in service with the Chinchilla Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade

This GPA was used in floods in the Chinchilla district during the 1950s.


Toowoomba Chronicle and Darling Downs Gazette (Qld. : 1922 - 1965), Thursday 15 July 1954, page 1
"The Condamine River is 10 feet over the bridge. Once again the ambulance's amphibious jeep has been of service when Bearer Cash travelled 11 miles out for a woman patient."
