AIF-M-1 was one of several LHD Buicks supplied to the AIF (and allocated to Blamey) in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the register does not record the chassis number, only the engine number, of a Buick staff car which was gifted to Blamey just after the war.
Just over 2,000 are marked 'Lost in Greece' - quite a significant loss of MT for a small army, all needing to be replaced, along with considerable quantities of other 'kit'.
Ryan: the registers cover the period 1939 to 1972 (when the 'new' series came into effect), so once they are all on line, will indeed cover the vehicles from the 1960s. Read the series intro for more information on content range.
