	Modern Bren carriers
		Carriers were effective reconnaissance vehicles- they were small, only 5ft high and could traverse most types of terrain at up to 30mph.
		The Cingoletta Fiat 2800 ("Breda carrier"?) was not adopted.
		It is usually assumed that the Bren has been replaced by vehicles such as the APC and IFV, but it is worth remembering that Bren carriers were not originally intended for Mechanised units -they were intended as gun tractors and weapon crew carriers in normal infantry battalions.

	Bren gun carrier; fast, furious and lots of help
		Bren and Scout Carriers were upgraded during the war to the "universal" standard; many of these Carriers received "in the field" alterations which included the mounting of heavier machine guns like the American.30 in and.50 in Brownings.
		Despite the fact that most Universal Carriers manufactured in/after 1943 were fitted with the Stacey Towing Attachment, for them to be able to tow the 6-pdr anti-tank gun over short distances, the Loyd Carrier was preferred by the troops for this job with its less complicated tiller operated steering.
		The base plate was carried on the front of the Carrier on earlier models and on the rear later on.

	Bren Gun Carrier
		There was only one version of this vehicle named the "Bren Gun Carrier" but whatever the task, the entire family of vehicles was known by its users as Bren Carriers.
		Because of their general usefulness, Bren Gun Carriers were allocated to all types of Australian Army Units.
		At the end of the War, the remaining Carriers were relegated to a training role and numbers of vehicles were allocated to Reserve (CMF) Forces to make up the balance of equipment needed by newly formed tank units.

		The Bren Carrier Mk.I was the Platoon Carrier, for use by the newly mechanized Infantry Divisions for mobile fire support.

	Universal carrier
		The popularity of the Bren Carrier led to a number of derivatives, and it was obviously uneconomic and wasteful of effort to build several near copies in small numbers.
		This became the standrad carrier for the rest of the war, though in spite of its official title it remained the Bren carrier to almost everybody.
		Tehy developed the 'Carrier T16', with a longer body and track and more powerful engine; over 2.600 were built, but somewhere the Americans ahd the got the sums wrong and the T16 could not carry as much payload as the standard Universal, nor was it as reliable, so that few were put to use.

	Eugene Hammond, December 15, 16, 1942, American Field Service
		In addition to handling patients, driving, carrying stretchers, etc., I took detailed notes of what was happening around me throughout this two-day episode (it was my first really "up front" experience), and borrowed a typewriter when we came out of action to type it up.
		By that time, the wounded man was on the stretcher, and they carried him over and put him on the ground beside my ambulance.
		Since I was still carrying patients, I was unable to move as fast as the other vehicles, and thus, involuntarily, was the cause of several minor traffic jams.

		After training on these improvised vehicles, the first armoured vehicle used in action by Corps units was the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car or LRC, (Also sometimes referred to as an ARC or Armoured Reconnaissance Car), which had a crew of three, (driver, commander, and gunner/radio operator).
		Best known as the Bren-Gun carrier, it was capable of carrying a range of weaponry, including mortars, and its armour was proof against most small-arms fire.
		Although troop ships, (often converted passenger liners), were most often used to carry British soldiers on long voyages, (such as from Glasgow to Algiers), specially designed, shallow draft ships were often used on shorter amphibious invasion routes.

		David Fletcher has given us a very clear account of how the Universal Carrier came to be, how it was used and, most importantly, what the various Mark numbers actually meant and how to tell them apart.
		The book actually begins with the early tracked carriers of the mid-1930s, from the prototype to the Scout Carriers, Machine Gun Carriers and the true Bren Gun Carrier that evolved into the Universal Carrier and was commonly known as the Bren Carrier.
		The Universal Carrier itself was adopted to fill all the original roles as well as some extras and, again, they are described and well illustrated.

		The driver, measuring 1/2" wide x 3/4" high, is also in very good condition with just a couple of paint chips on his face, from rattling around in the box against the gun carrier.
		Note that the crew and gun carrier were produced each in a different shade of green paint, which I have verified with a dealer who deals strictly in Britains.
