as you know after WWII there was a vast conspiricy by ford, chevy, and bedford to clean the world of any and all pictures of the best truck of WWII (44 morris). all the governments of the time got together and devided up the world, made the iron curtan, and covered up the great things that the morris did. so good luck and watch out for the black helos

Is there any evidence of the Morris seeing any war-time active service as some people describe them like the Austin K6's as being effectivly post-war vehicles due to their late war introduction dates.

Smile 1944 Morris C8 GS

Hi Neil, I have only seen two photos of them in 1945, one was in a victory prade in Germany with a RA Rgt, that was in Wheels & Tracks Mag and one in the UK in devon,apart from that i have not seen any in war time use, at best they were used 6 months before the end of the war. most photos i have seen have them used in Korea.
