1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

About the photo of the square of Bergen op Zoom 1944.
Maybe the C15 wireless truck will belongs to the South Alberta Light Horse regiment.
The SALH were reorganized as the 29th armoured regiment(the South Alberta Regiment) when they arrive at Europe , the SAR was selected to be the reconnaissance regiment of the 4th Canadian(Armouded)Division and after a strongh/heavy fight at the scheldt at the Netherlands, the SAR was with the 4th Canadian(Armuded) Division and took part with the liberation of Bergen op Zoom..

Great info Marcel . My truck needs to tour Holland when it is finished . I could also have spare unit markings up my sleeve and try to recreate this picture. Now , could someone here spare a Sherman and maybe a Stuart to fill some space in the town square ? On another subject , what were the rear mudflaps ( and front maybe ) made of ? Also , while we are at it : Can someone formaly identify the model and make of the truck in the foreground of this great wartime picture ? The one i have been refering to as a Wireless truck . Thanks again Marcel for the great info. Cheers. PS : I see a Chev radiator overflow tank on the right o the hood. I see two side windows on the box . I see an antennae base on the roof. But what model is it ?

In case anybody is asking the question , I cannot add any of the superstructure on top of the box. The superstructure is composed of handrails for the crew climbing on top to install antennae. Also , there are antennae protectors . Reason : If I add them the truck will not fit in my garage !

This is actually the Polish 1st Armoued Division in Bergen op Zoom, there is a Cromwell and Crusdader AA in the pic.
