Roundel on door.....
Phil
The roundel can not be read from the hi res. pictures....
Seems to be 3 words written in a circle ...with maybe F C in the centre.... maybe for Forestry Canada.....
In the picture of the HUP parked in a neat row..... the chalked writing on the door says..... OK 2 Drive and signed L... Dxxxx
All the other trucks have the easily read Canada and underneath Dept. of Agriculture.
Can you guess which departmental archives I will be checking next????
Another source I need to follow up is the first bus company in Hull PQ. It was started by a couple of brothers (Bisson) who made their fortune as mercenary pilots with ferry command...... there total fleet of support vehicles were all CMPs.... 15 cwt fuel trucks... some 30 and 60....some wreckers.... all painted bottom half light grey top half white...... city archives may prove interesting....... you have to remember they were the only good dependable trucks available after the war.
