AIF and AMF Mid-East vehicle supplies

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

We have discussed at length previously the issue of vehicles to the AIF and NZEF, plus the Indian Army in the Middle East theatre. They of course carried either a UK domestic theatre WD Census Number or a Mid-East theatre one. I can only suggest that this was to identify the vehicle types for Census purposes and spare parts ordering.

I have been through the Australian archival papers sent to me and they make interesting reading, I will endeavour to add to this thread as I can to perhaps try and resolve the mysteries surrounding thees issues, that of course ultimately led to # 11 and 12 cabs turning up in Australasia.

I have also added information from the Canadian DND papers so as to bring the Aussie papers into perspective.
