"British" Assault
Hi Hanno:
Interesting caption... looks like CL on the census number.  First time I've seen a photo of the star painted onto the tarpaulin like that. Cheers! Mike

Other than the picture in Gregg's book, this is the first wartime picture I have ever seen of a 20-cwt GS trailer. And it was taken in Holland! Berlagebrug, Amsterdam, 8 May 1945.

Is that the Guards Armoured divison sign on the fender? If the AoS is the same as the Bedford QL behind it, than it could be "Armoured Brigade Motor Batallion", Guards Armoured Brigade. Background does look very Dutch, by the way! Alex

Canadian Mutual Aid Programme, 1955
Found this document on equipment being offered to NATO allies under the Canadian Mutual Aid Programme in 1955.
The list includes a total of 580 of "Trailer, 20-cwt, 2-wh, GS" being offered to Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Portgal and Turkey. As far as I know, Norway was the only country to take up this offer, totalling 65.
