Wartime pictures: 20-cwt trailers

[Alex van de Wetering]

Bob,

The link mentioned in Hanno's post at the top of this thread points towards the old MLU domain, but if change the .org to .net, you will find some nice pictures of steel bodies GS trailers.

It's surprising how many trailers you see in pictures of the Dutch Liberation....
you even see German trailers being used....and even the back half of 15cwt GS trucks made into trailers!

The body may looks a bit like the Canadian 20-cwt, but the wheels and mudguards look like British 1-ton to me.

Doesn't the body of a Canadian 20cwt GS trailer extend sideways over most of the mudguard? Other body characteristics make me quite sure this is not a Canadian 15 cwt GS trailer.

Agree. Plus a 15-/20-cwt trailer is much wider than the Bedford MW towing it.

For comparison, here is a F15A CMP 15-cwt towing a 20-cwt trailer. The CMP was both longer and wider than most British 15-cwt trucks.

The bud wheels indicate a 20 CWT.
