Default now the hunt can be opened!

Thanks Stellan for that.

So we know pretty sure KNIL needed and ordered and probably received some 200 (or more?) Maple Leaf 4x4 trucks (some to be converted to 6x6 by Trado bogies) in or around 1939/1940.

The order was to Canada (since they were Maple Leaf's)?
It ran possibly through GM Java?

Such a substantial and conspicious order must have made it to some sales listings, archives or even a local company historian!

David,

I remember you mentioned once a Canadian colleague...
Could we contact him or her somehow to see if (s)he can tell us more about the KNIL order?

Cheers
Nuyt
