Alex, thanks for finding these pictures!

It looks like one of many 3-tonners converted with a caravan body for use as a mobile office of some sorts. Most likely attached to a HQ unit.

Interestingly, the 3rd picture shows a Stuart VI Recce!

Hi Hanno;

In answer to a question by Alex van de Wetering, in the 'Defrocked Priest in South Alberta Regt' thread in the Armour Forum, located here: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4342,
I had replied that the vehicles in the photos from the 'Grote markt', Bergen op Zoom, belonged to those of RHQ and Recce Troop, of the 29th Canadian Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The South Alberta Regiment), C.A.C., of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division.

Cheers

This is part of a screenshot taken from a training film based at a Driver Training school. The Gun Tractor is parked by the entrance to the depot.

Hi Mark, thanks! Interesting to see the Stuart VI Recce, that Priest Kangaroo is a great find too.

Probably taken in North Africa?

Another shot in taken in North Africa. In case you noticed, the Germans riding the Daimler A/C are POW's.
