General Crerar

[Alex van de Wetering]

Attached is another picture of the Diamond T, from Wheels&Tracks magazine no.7, which has an article on the collection of Bill Gregg.

Or perhaps the photograph was taken while the General was visiting another unit which is also equipped with Diamond T trucks.

Sorry Ed; that's what I was meaning to say. Possibly a Diamond that has nothing to do with Crerar.

I do wonder if others can comment on the "CH" prefix.....wouldn't CL be more appropriate if the truck was based on a Diamond T975 chassis?

Judging by the last image posted, it looks like the truck did get a repaint.

No circle, just a white 9 on a black rectangle with a white bar. 9 equals top dog and black is for HQ.
