Wartime pictures: 20-cwt trailers

[Alex van de Wetering]

Excellent, thanks!

Judging by the 16-inch wheels, this was a 15-cwt version.

Well spotted, Hanno. Here is another one, again with 16inch wheels. August 1944, Normandy, Prinses Irene Brigade.

Hello
I have the oppertunity to make some T reflectors for the Cdn and British 1940's trailers. Is there an interest?

I am also looking for any data pertaining to the Canadian 10cwt trailers, both CMP and 1/4 ton.
Thanks
Eric

Erm, actually, this is a British 15-cwt water trailer with 13 inch wheels. . .

Post-war pic of three 20-cwt trailers in Holland, these were modified for use by a friend's father, Mr. Beijersbergen, for carting around building materials. GMC trucks were used to pull them.

It's hard to see if this one is 15 or 20 cwt, but here goes...
