Ian,

I'm sorry to say you have all the info I have on that Contract Demand (CD) in this thread, as you'll see when Volume 1 of Lloyd White's new book on the MB comes out later this year (I wrote the Australian chapter). There wasn't enough solid info to warrant much more than a paragraph or two on the Dawn winch mod, plus some liberal quoting from the MGO Memorandum, and a single image (the 9th Div jeep coming ashore).

I have to wonder if the CD was the only one (especially given the difficulty with the supply of the specified cable) and therefore the total number of which kits provided to Army, given images (and survivors) are so rare. Being supplied as a field mod kit, they could have been fitted to any jeep at field workshop level, (or simply left on the shelf), hence I'm not at all surprised that there are no annotations in the registration ledgers.

Mike C
