Field guns, armour and military vehicles.

Time to start a new set of pictures covering the subjects mentioned in the title. I am no wealth of knowledge on these items and in most cases did not have the time to record the type so if you want to chip in and identify those I cannot, please do so. The format will be the same as my aircraft picture threads, one a day. Hope you enjoy.

National War Museum in Ottawa.

Bren gun carrier?????

Jeff

Nice.

BTW Jeff, I have moved the thread to the Personal Gallery sub-section.

I think it's a Canadian version of The Universal Carrier or Bren Gun carrier.


Wasp Mk IIC

Canadian version of the Wasp flamethrower variant.

The sign included at this display says this Sherman came ashore in the Normandy area in July 1944 and fought its way across Europe up to VE day ( 70th anniversary today) I wonder how many Shermans survived 10 months of battle in Europe?

Cheers,

I think perhaps it came ashore in July 1944?

Not sure what this weapon is called but I was intrigued by the camo. Looks as if it were applied in the field.

Cheers,

Looks like it's a 21 cm Nebelwerfer 42 (21 cm NbW 42)

 

[Gnomey]
