Crerar slept and had an office in a caravan mounted on a Diamond T (He shipped this and his map trailer back to Canada for preservation at the end of the war. This caravan combination was sold surplus out of London, Ontario after the war as the Canadian War Museum did not want it. The caravan was rescued by Dr. Bill Gregg from a tobacco farmer's field in Ontario many years later - amazingly intact though decayed I noted when I went through it in 1985 - and has since been restored and placed on a Diamond T 4 Ton Breakdown chassis apparently and is at CFB Shilo, Manitoba. His original Diamond T has never been found. I have its markings and WD number on file.
It was Monty who had a bedroom caravan on a Mack, an office caravan on a Leyland and a map caravan on a Fordson, all now on display at the IWM Duxford.
