A bren carrier pushing an Iltis around....seen it before. But then again, what vehicle hasn't had the opportunity to push an Iltis around?

"This carrier has been lingering for a few years as another party was trying to make it a running piece but too much time has passed so it was decided to make it strictly a monument"

Yes, this carrier sat in the backyard only worked on a little at a time, due to the unit was very busy providing a TANK sqn for continuous operations overseas. They did a lot of work from what time they had to spare to work on it. New fenders, extra armour welded back on after the original owner cut it all off.

Looks nice all done up, well done.

I wasn't trying to take away from what you guys initially did on it just giving a little back ground on it as in the end it was the Loyal Edmonton regiments decision to make it into a monument and asked if I could do it
