Default WLC Census Numbers

Hello Johan

Canadian Army Census or WD numbers are not so neatly categorized as British army ones.

But after a lot of digging (and help) I've come up with some information that may be of use.

Originally in 1940, RCASC motorcycles were issued with census numbers CC74000 - CC75249.

"B"-vehicle motorcycles were issued with census numbers CC4200000 to CC4202000.

Later in the war, it would appear the huge numbers of vehicles being issued to army units preparing for the Second Front swamped the system and it was not quite so clear-cut.

I'd go with a CC42XXXXX number and challenge nay-sayers to prove it wrong!

For what it's worth

Steve
