Default Further info

From the oracle:

"132384 was chassis/engine no. 3G47579F, part of a scattered bunch with similar ARNs but not a continuous run of numbers."

As for the lockers - they were for ready use ammunition in steel boxes - where in action the gun was dropped, steel boxes of ammo unloaded and the tractor then driven away. Other ammo was of course in limbers which were not always towed by the tractor with the gun. Sometimes a tractor would tow two limbers and no gun.

And another note from the oracle: "Not Northern Command but 1st Military District during the period 1946 to 1953 "
