Specific: The Carrier was the
first tracked vehicle to arrive in Denmark after WW II
(in march 1946). The fact that they were "well
used" and the lack of spare-parts, made it a hard
job to keep them in driving condition.
Used for transport of cargo and personnel, AT gun towing
(shown) and as cable layer.
The picture was taken at Kronborg in 1950.

Loyd & Co. this Carrier was co-produced by other
