Lynn, that block of wood is for the Bren barrel. There was a bracket attached to the "Oh S*%T" handle that held the back of the Bren. Basically the gun would fit in on a downward angle.

I can send you a picture in the spring as mine is original of the bren gun mount .Mine has the wood also . Anything that has to do with the Brits will have some wood in it .Real bullet proof . George

Including more pictures of the carrier at the legion. I did find a newspaper clipping on the gathering so I'm well on my way to finding the owner. Hope he doesn't mind me posting these pictures. This carrier got a lot of attention despite all the other vehicles there. Phil
