Hi All

Would anyone have information relating to the arming and mounting of .50cals on Universal Carriers MkII's. Recently I completed reading Roy Whitsead's Canadians: A Battalion At Wara about the Queens Own Rifles and it described if I recall correctly .50cal armed carriers. Having purused the forum I saw a couple photos of 50 cal armed units but would like more detail photos or mount information if possible.

Generally speaking were carriers crewed by 3 or 4 members? what was standard armament load out? Were 2 " mortars standard on them and if so what mount I have seen one mounted on a photo in the forum identified as a lake Superior Regt carrier with 50cal but this looks to be a June 45 photo and not a combat one. I have seen the older style smoke discargers (dual or single) were these common on NWE carriers?

What I am after is making a realistic carrier miniature of a Canadian Infantry Battalions carrier.
