Wartime pictures: CMP FAT, NW Europe

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I can't find "H 42" series in David Hayward's British Contracts: Htm Listings. Were these supplied under Canadian contracts?

Yes. 'CH' and 'H42...' series were Canadian allocations by the WD.

Note the SM 2646 F-GT..that proves that the contract was S/M 2646 and not 2546 and 2846.

H 5558176 to 5558375 SM 2646 'Tractor 4x4 ' Model C291Q


As mentioned on another thread, However HISTORIC MILITARY VEHICLES DIRECTORY P. 52 has a photo of a Chevrolet FAT marked up as ‘H5558307’! This now appears to have been explained.

To set things straight:
