Greetings! I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some insight on the UC Ambulance of WW2. I'm researching the 15th Canadian Field Ambulance RCAMC which supported the 10th Infantry Brigade of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division. Many thanks.

Hope maybe someone can shed some light on this. I'm trying to determine when the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company opened their plant in Kitchener (Berlin) Ontario and if anyone has any knowledge of this factory producing trucks for wartime service. My father grew up not far from the factory and believes that it was operational during the war but so far the only date I've been able to find is 1919 but that is from only 1 single document. Anyone here have any thoughts?

I'll see if I can dig up some decent photo's of the CUCV. I did my driver training on this truck way back in the 80's, and it's still one of our best running ambulances even considering its and and service overseas (Rwanda, Somolia, Bosnia). Amazingly parts and knowledge is not a huge problem, especially since we have 4 of them. As for the EMT training, yes. I've been a CF Medic since 1988 and am a few months away from completing my Ontario Paramedic cert. Combine that with the living history side of things, and my regiment has a great opportunity to display the history of the vehicles and the equipment. It's amazing to stand on the same ground my fellow medics and regimental members did 100 years ago!

I'm researching the details of a MK VII GS Wagon (hopefully leading to an accurate reproduction). Can anyone help with drawings or details? I'll be off to the Studebaker archives in a few months, but maybe there might be some better info here. Thanks!

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself as a new member here. I'm a member of the Canadian Forces for the past 20 years and reside in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Primary interests are Victorian and WW1 medical, ambulances and horse transport. I also have a number of years in re-enacting, specifically 1812, WW1 and WW2. Current projects include the future restoration of a still in service M1010 CUCV Ambulance, and the scale reproduction of a MkVII GS Wagon. Looking forward to learning more from everyone's experience here!
