Ron,it was recovered by 36 Service Battilion and it's been moved indoors inside the secure area.My understanding is that is their game plan.Also,there are more still buried in the area where they found it,as the Americans used some as range targets when the M3 Stuarts arrived.

A very interesting fact is that they are in Dutch!

Interesting picture made ca. 1946 in Bandung, Indonesia. It shows a variety of vehicles being repaired/ overhauled in a Netherlands Army workshop: Universal Carrier, M3 Stuart, Vickers Light Tank, and a Marmon-Herrington Tractor in the foreground.

The vehicles have a variety of backgrounds, including early WW2 Netherlands Army, like the Marmon-Herrington Tractor, early WW2 British Army like the Vickers. These vehicles were first captured by the Japanese Army, then the Indonesian Army, and finally the Netherlands Army. So this was not a case of "one careful owner", and the Netherlands Army had to keep a wildly varying fleet running with limited resources.

Hanno,

Indianapolis was in the Cincinnati Ordnance district and the Ordnance District Chiefs at that time were Mr. E.A.Muller from May 1937 to July 1942 and Col. F.A. McMahon from July 1942 to December 1943.

Thanks Marco!

Just for good measure, another picture of a Marmon-Herrington tanks during training at Hato, Curacao, ca. 1943:

See MILITAIRE OEFENINGEN IN WEST-INDIE (military exercises in the West-Indies) for footage of Marmon-Herrington tanks in use in Surinam.

Scroll to 02:24 and 10:00 to see both Two and Three Man Tanks, plus various Marmon-Herrington trucks.

Enjoy,

Hi Hanno, the translation of the Chinese words from what I can translate is

Purpose Manufacture Number ……………………………….. TYPE

Engine Number ………………………………………………………. Date of Manufacture

Common Speed. …………………………………………………….. MAKE


The two empty lies at the bottom?

Hello Colin,

Thank for the translation, I am at loss when it comes to Chinese. This is the translation John came up with, it is pretty close to what you said:

Motor Number….….Date

I hope that this helps, or dose it muddy the water more?
Thank you "Xiānshēng" (hope I got that right),
Hanno

Hello John, I came across this newsletter of 36 (NFLD) Service Battalion.

Do you know if it this Marmon-Herrington CTLS is still there? I read about it passing into civilian hands. Or was that another one?
