| Simply
speaking, Canada was NOT in the armour business in 1939. This was to change
rapidly, as industry scrambled to provide for our own troops as well as
bolster Britain's badly-depleted forces after the debacle at Dunkirk. From
Ford came the Universal Carrier, the Windsor Carrier and the Lynx Scout
Car; from GM came the Fox Armoured Car, the Otter Recce Car and the C15TA.
Montreal Locomotive Works produced the Ram, Valentine and Sherman Grizzly
tanks. |
|
| In addition,
the Canadian Army Overseas used a wide variety of British and Lend-Lease
vehicles, including the ubiquitous Sherman, halftracks, T-16 Carriers,
M3A1 Scout Cars, Stuarts, and various Humber and Daimler scout, armoured
and recconnaissance vehicles. Some of these were occasionally modified
in unique ways to serve the needs of our fighting troops. |
