LRDG Portee

[Paul Ramsden]

Hi,
Does anyone have any pictures or info about the LRDG 25 pdr Portee?
If not are there any pictures of other interesting heavy artillery portee (not 2pdr or 6 pdr ones are there are plenty of pictures of those around). Was the 17pdr ever carried portee, I have heard of them carried on Amtracs but never seen a picture?
Cheers,
Paul

Interestingly we know that 17-pounders were towed behind rebuilt 2-pdr Portee Chevrolets.
