I know from a Market garden veteran that a Morris with 17 pounder was pulled out of a Hamilcar wich, was tipped over, with a carrier, to rescue te crew , perhaps they put the 17 pounder into use and pulled it with the carrier. Or the story was so changed in the years that the pull out of the Hamilcar is changed in pulling the 17 pounder?
Groet. Hendrik

Interesting to hear. Could be akward as carriers came under each of the infantry battalions, and the anti tank Bty fell under CRA, with the 17-pndrs were in individual troops attached to each of the three brigades and the fourth troop to div HQ if I remember correctly.
Would be interested in seeing the sources of the statements as to see to what extend these described the change-over from Morris to Carrier. The post Arnhem CRA reports do not mention anything towards this, nor did any of either of the Arnhem AT bty veterans in the years that I took the Morris up. But never too old to learn. |
