Thinking about it, I suspect Conger was an engineless Carrier loaded with the hosepipe of nitroglycerine that was towed behind an AVRE.
Can you confirm that, Alex?

I believe I can, Tony, although I can't verify... call it CRS, but the source I thought I had seems to have evaporated. I DO know the Conger WAS an engineless, towed carrier, but I'm not sure how it was employed.

Nigel will have some good info on that, though. Start a thread in the Carrier Forum to attract his attention!

PS: Overloon still has an impressive, albeit sobering collection of damaged and destroyed vehicles in the woods surrounding its main building. It's not hard to envision the fate of the men whom those vehicles carried. Quite well done in its own right, albeit different in nature from the best I've seen, which has to be the Land Warfare Museum at Duxford. THAT I'd like to replicate over here in Canada some day.
