On the previous picture: It actually appears to be an M 46 not 26. Note the postwar uniforms of the crew and the addition of the sand shields over the tracks. The use of a large star on the front and promenent white stencilling are more common on post war vehicles too. Also, since the participation of the M 26 in Europe during the war was very limited and occured almost totally in the Winter of 44 - 45 and early spring of 45 the apparent weather conditions indicated by shirt sleeves and foilage would further support it being an M 46. The picture above is of a Dodge 3/4 ton truck or sometimes designated as a "weapons carrier" or "power wagon." The vehicle type is usually WC 34. |

Pre-production Tracked Truck, 1 ton GS. While looking around the web for further info I see the Royal Australian Armoured Corps Museum has really tarted it's website up. Great stuff and some very interesting vehicles. Owen's on the money, it's definitely a Staghound, which threw up another excellent new (?) website upon triple checking: The Staghound Register which gives some hope that Rex Cadman's beautifully restored T17 (presumably the one in Bod's Photo ) is to be joined by others over the years to come.Would that be Owen's go next then? Or anyone else who's got a good one. Last edited by von Poop; 27-04-2007 at 01:34 PM. |
