Product Description
- The Universal Carrier was a tracked general-purpose transport vehicle developed based on the Bren Gun Carrier, and was used extensively by the Allied forces during World War II to transport personnel and supplies, and to tow artillery.
- It was also used as an infantry support vehicle equipped with a Vickers heavy machine gun, a Bren light machine gun, a Boys anti-tank rifle, etc., and as a self-propelled mortar equipped with a 3-inch mortar and its firing crew.
