Default General Crerar's Caravan

Judging by the last image posted, it looks like the truck did get a repaint.

No circle, just a white 9 on a black rectangle with a white bar. 9 equals top dog and black is for HQ.

That is a great shot in Post #14 of the rear end of the 3-ton CMP component of Crerar’s office vehicle train. You can just make out the left rear quarter of this truck in the group photo posted earlier.

Is it correct this particular 3-Ton CMP never made it back to Canada? Just the Diamond T and Trailer?

Such a unique set of vehicles!

David
