FGTs at the Czechoslovak Brigade
A friend of mine has done some research in the archives and so far it seems that only two FGTs came to Prague with returning Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade. One served with the Artillery Battalion and one with The AT Unit. If this is true, then both of them survived which is pretty amazing. The rest of our Quads were Morris. There were also Ford LAAs towing Bofors guns. No CGTs.
I have attached few pictures of H55582014 from 30th May 1945 near Prague. That could be my vehicle  Notice the jerry can holder behind the spare wheel. I have seen this on the CZ Morris Quads as well. I reckon this was added before the Brigade departure from Dunkerque in May 1945 to bear enough fuel for such a long trip back to Prague.
