I was scrolling through the Universal/Bren Carrier Facebook page and noticed the images of a recent barn-find acquisition by Chad Marshall.

The shape of the cuts on the rear armour reminded me of the ambulance conversion shown in this thread.

As I am not a Facebook user, I was not able to view all of the comments that were made regarding this carrier, but I thought it might be prudent to bring this thread up to the top for possible discussion.

The attached images are from Chad’s post on the facebook page.

This one was recently restored. Great effort though I don’t think the Airborne units had ambulances.

A black arm-of-service sign with a white serial '77' was for an Airlanding Field Ambulance. There was one in each Airborne Division.

The 1st Airborne Division had the 181st Airlanding Field Ambulance.

The 6th Airborne Division had the 195th Airlanding Field Ambulance.
