This photo is a recent discovery, during WW2 the canterbury motor company in Kent were employed as a army school of mechanics. In the main they dealt with Rootes group products but as this photo reveals instructions were also issued on CMP trucks, see the No 12 cabs along the back

Default Good example

Default Athens, bloody December of 1944..

Between the crowd of the protesters and the Greek Parliament, clearly visible is a C15, surely British Army.
December of 1944, few weeks after liberation..

This picture must have been taken during the first few years after WW2 in Germany. As far as I know the Canadian Army did not use VW Beetles, so the Bedford and CMPs in the background were most likely British.
