The Deelen Dump in Holland

Deelen wasn't the only vehicle park used by Canadians. 27CAR's tank Bomb was stripped of her extra tack-welded armour, and turned into a dump in Belgium.

Hi Terry, I suspect the dump in Belgium was a transit point for equipment which had to be shipped back to Canada via Antwerp harbour.

See a snippet of Alex Souchen's dissertation "Peace Dividend: The War Assets Corporation and the Disposal of Canada's Munitions and Supplies, 1943-1948" earlier in this thread: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...403#post268403
