Thank you! I will forward that bit of info to the museum curator and Jeep owner, Fred Jones who was made honorary member of the Regt a couple of years ago...

Default looks good

Hello Johan

looking good

My closest serial number on file is GPW62757 , which was used by the 21 Army Group and had WD number CM4284105.

The serial number had no relation to the WD number. The WD number was only assigned once the vehicle was assigned to a unit.

I do not have your GPW on file. If not CDN It could have been a US or British vehicle turned over post war.


My GPW is 62566, which is Sept 1942. The GPW engine was found in a CDN contract 242, I added it to an early frame to create my GPW.

thanks
Eric

Thanks Eric...

I don't think this Jeep was originally used by the Canadian Forces in Europe in WW2, but still a representative example.

Cheers,

Johan
