Lynn, and Steve I have two sets of information to go on: the first is the massive listing of all Chrysler group serials etc. which includes US and Government jobs-this lists a broad band of serials for that type of chassis and 1942-45. However the US Identification sheet I mentioned lists the various types and chassis number starts etc. I cannot reconcile the chassis number quoted with the listing and it might be helpful to advise which model WC-52 it was originally, e.g. did it have a winch?

Steve, I wonder if you used to work out of Dolphin in Gosport? My wife's grandfather was responsible for all the forts along the coast including Brockhouse and Nelson after WW1. He used to live in Stokes Bay and that's where my late father-in-law was born and grew up. However rather than the Navy he elected for the RAF and then trained in Canada as everyone probably knows by now.
