See below for a picture scanned from Gregg's book showing the Trailer, 4-wh, 2-ton, GS. We need more Canadian-built trailers preserved, very few survive and not much is known about their wartime use.

Here's a link to a similar 4 wheel military trailer: for sale: WW2 5-ton 4-wheeled snowplough trailer.
