The Canadian discussion during 1943/1944, of universal carriers being adapted to tow Ordnance QF 6-pounder and Trailer, 10-Cwt, produced an estimate of towing hooks required. As indicated in the following estimate, November, 1944: Recce Regts had a requirement for either 12 or 18 towing attachments each, for their 6pr A Tk establishment.
Ed, I imagine there will be supporting detail to indicate the actual deployment of the 6pr with these two Recce Regts in the N.W.E. theatre? At present, an image of a Cdn Recce Regt universal carrier deployed, ‘44/‘45 towing a 6pr in N.W.E. is elusive.
