Some great pictures there, thanks for the link, Wim

Can you tell us the meaning of "Groot Mokum"?

At least for Chevrolet fans. What a significant album!

Default Thanks...

I thought it was 'great' something.

And just to reiterate, what a great collection, well worth going through - the photographer was obviously a fan of CMPs, or just couldn't avoid them

Have a look at these two, part of a series of a C60L on fire, and another C60L mishap:

Nothing like having a CMP land on your doorstep.

Great link, Wim, thank for posting it!

Keith, the Dutch forces in Indonesia were equipped with a huge number of war-surplus CMPs, acquired both from the ex-Canadian stocks left in Holland as well as in-theatre transfers from the British/Indian Army.

Here´s a pic of a Chev C15 11 Cab in Indonesia: http://beeldbank.nationaalarchief.nl/na:col1:dat460922
