Two carriers with it, first time i have seen this.

The term is short-tracking and is a recovery technique. Although it means breaking track, counting links, hammering pins out and in, and retensioning. Anything that will get you home I suppose.

Universal Carrier track bashing looks like fun! Especially while smoking a cigarette.

RHLI carriers. Of note is the Hell’s Angles motif on the sides. The entire carrier platoon at the time carried them.
