Classic example
Here's a good example of a CMP not being the focal point of an image:

Questions questions Did both Ford and Chev make semi trailer trucks ? Is trailer a CMP product ? |

Semi trailer tractors
The 115" wheelbase tractor CMP was only made by Ford, the model is F60T.
Not sure about Canadian semi trailers but there were several types made here in Australia. The tractor trucks were standard models with a 5th wheel coupling.

Raf cmp
How about this CMP seen in the background, in the UK circa March 1944; it looks to have an RAF roundel on the side so would be from 2nd TAF or possibly an RAF Regiment unit, as 'ordinary' RAF Stations in the UK didn't get these vehicles- or did they!
I've been told the RAF was quite happy with Fordson 4x2 GS trucks for airfield use and that CMP 4x4's were never used by the RAF IN THE UK as the Army and 2TAF units living in the field had a greater need.

A really nice wartime shot of a C60X RAAF tanker with EPEX made equipment.

Just came across this photo again
Quote:
Hi All Les found and posted this photo a number of years ago, well this morning I stumbled on it again this time while doing a search on 303 Rifle Service and thought I'd post the link the site I found it on as it has what looks to be some possible side searches to more photos of interest. http://www.koreanwaronline.com/arms/leenfld.htm Cheers Phil

From the site referred to above:
"The bolt action, Caliber .303 in. Magazine Lee-Enfield, MLE, held two columns of 5 cartridges each. A skilled soldier could fire the 8.8 lb rifle's deadly 174 grain bullet at from 20 to 30 aimed rounds per minute, making British Commonwealth infantry as effective as any in the Korean War." Comment: The Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) 'Rifle, No.1 Mk3*' had a staggered box magazine holding 10 rounds, not '2 x columns of 5'. The rifle's approximate weight at '8.8lb' was without ammunition and/or bayonet. Image caption: "3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, armed with Number 4 Mark I SMLE rifles, distinguished itself in Korea in a number of engagements. In its first fight the Aussies, using mainly only Enfield rifles and 18 in. bayonets, routed a North Korean regiment." Comments: The rifles visible in the image are No.1 Mk.3* rifles, and the Pattern 07 Bayonet with which each rifleman was equipped had a blade length of 17 inches. The jeeps are towing Australian No.4, 8 cwt trailers. The visible webb equipment is Pattern '37. Mike |

Comfort wise those Jimmies look a little crowded. The nearest one has a fellow sitting on the edge of the tailgate and leaning over the safety strap. Wonder how far they were going and what the road was like?
Shaken, not stirred huh? David

A current-day OH&S officer would be throwing a fit! These days, I think they (Aust soldiers) are not even allowed to travel in open-backed trucks.

Blitz
That's a fire tender, and from memory the Mustang piloted by Dick Cresswell had run into the back of the truck killing the poor fellow who was on the back.
To be fair to the pilot I think the truck was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was out of sight to the pilot. Quote:

15cwt
I'd say they're 15CWTs, but it's too blurry to discern anything else about them!

Hmmm
Maybe but no fairleads and 16" wheels could point to a cut down Wireless Sigs van.

Sherman tank, as far as I cal tell in Arnhem during the final liberation in 1945.
Note the CMP in the background. I'd say it is a '44-'45 model C15A.

Sort of a foreground / background one
Spotted this one on a FaceBook group called "Old Service Station Photographs - Australia". A post by Chris Keating caught my eye... a Chev CMP with window open enters from the right. Also one of my favourite old British cars (I used to have one the same colour) a Morris Minor 1/4 ton pickup.

Another sort of a foreground one
Postcard showing the beach promenade at Noordwijk aan Zee, Holland, probably late 1950s, showing a 3-tonner CMP.
Both Fords and Chevrolets came from Canadian Army dumps and were used to dredge/harvest shells from the beach. Working in the harsh salty and sandy environment ensured none of them survive today.
