Default Can DND Follow-up

Hi again to all...

Thanks for the ideas...

As far as I can tell so far, we have the following...

A. DND Numbers most likely used only in Canada. If they were noted in the UK, this was prob due to not having been removed...

B. CT Numbers were applied in the factories after early agreement with UK.

C. Some vehs (Rams) sported the SKC serials in the UK, but only early on.

D. Within a short space of time all vehs conformed with overall UK numbering although as of mid-43, all Ram gun tanks added the figure T to the end of the veh serial to denote a Training Veh (and prior to issue of US Shermans)

So the questions still un-answered are:

1. What was the DND System ? How did it work ? Are there any archives remaining to help us understand it.

2. What was the SKC system ? How did it work and what knowledge also remains (although has been mentioned before here) ?

One has to now ask where would the best place be to try and answer these ques. The Canadian National Archives obviously (but unlikely to be on Microfilm ?). Also, would there be anything in the records of the various factories ? Indeed, where are these archives, in Ottawa ?

If anyone can add further to this, it would be most interesting !

Roddy


PS - There are excellent veh lists - A & B vehs - in the 27CAR war diaries - see Microfilm T-12756, Jun, Jul & Aug 43.
