Fascinating! I never knew they built a CGT based portee. Do we have any pics? I guess it would be much like the Morris...?

Tony,

As stated, read Wheels & Tracks issue no. 33 for the full story and photos.

Here the complete caption of the picture:

"Transport struggling through the surging waters which overrun a division in the Cesena area, October 1944"

Picture IWM NA 19787.

Bart added; "Cesena is in Italy, south of Ravenna and the loaded CGT AT tractor was an ex-AT Portee, note the rearranged canvas cover, obviating the peculiar "two-tier" windscreens, and the H-prefixed WD number"

Scanned the next page, just saw there are 2 more, email me if you want the prev. 2 aswell.



Cheers,

Lex
