Wow!
Mark, I am indebted. Do you take it that No 1 Detachment handed over to No 2 Detachment [when it says "from 1 Det"]? I thought that it meant that personnel were transferred from 1 Detachment to 2 Detachment presumably as more men landed and therefore "from 1 Det" meant "men transferred from 1 Det". Now I wonder if it meant that certain sections BECAME 2 Detachment. The result would be the same as the men formerly with 1 Det would have transferred with the formal unit change.
So far as I know the 100 Staff Cars were all Fords...I have a photo of one or at least the front end of it. Numerous Chevrolet '40 four door sedans were burnt out when the Southampton Plant was bombed but some must have been delivered previously albeit after the Ford fordor sedans.
