I look at the National Archives files that I have on the subject from time to time to refresh my memory. These trucks had for instance tank bodies originally, which were not wanted and disposed of for a few cents on the dollar in the US. Whilst some trucks were delivered to the UK, and assembled say by Vauxhall Motors Limited in Hendon [the GM Limited-owned plant], others were shipped direct to the Mid-East. I suspect that GM Near East, Alexandria, which was leased by the British Government, may have been used.
