Grant, Keith was referring to the pic posted by Ollie Higgins (hence the quote). The C15 4x2 has a distinctive front hub.

I count 6 CMP's, Dodge D60S tippers and a HUP but may be wrong!

When a sandwich truck doesn't serve food.

"The type of vehicle above was nicknamed "Monster" and was based on a Canadian Miltiary (sic) Pattern (CMP) 15 cwt. Truck. It was equipped with a battering ram and had circular armored plates fashioned from farm plow disks."

CMP FAT recovering 88-mm gun.

Original Toronto Star caption: "Retreating Germans abandoned this 88 mm. gun in perfect condition when they scurried away from the victorious British Eighth army. Although the enemy was only a few thousand yards ahead at the time; poor visibility prevented their noticing this recovery crew The fact that no one took time to destroy the gun's firing mechanism indicates the haste with which the Nazis fell back. Several times during the advance; so much equipment fell into British hands that days were required to sort it out.
Date: 12/5/1942"
