Default Post-war

The War Department placed huge orders for FWD trucks, as has been said, by 1917. However the company could not cope and so farmed out orders to other companies. After the war the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company Limited [later FWD] was established in the Great White Elephant, namely the Slough Depot in Buckinghamshire, which became the Slough Trading Estate. The FWD company purchased ex-WD trucks and refurbished them for civilian use. I wonder if any weree xported? They existed from 1919 until around 1925 from memory.
