  About Us - Morris Gallery - Brandon, Manitoba
Morris and Flora both enjoy art and in the early 1990’s, added limited and open edition art to their inventory.
Morris overcame a battle with throat cancer in 1995 and thus with a new lease and perspective on life, decided to open an art gallery in the Town Centre mall in Brandon MB.
Morris has 49 years of framing experience and naturally custom framing is an important part of the business.

 CAC Minutes
The analysis of C8 in the blood is currently in progress at the University of Pennsylvania.
Because of the presence of C8 in the air and water of the Little Hocking Water district, a stratified random sample of about 400 of the 12,000 residents of the district will be drawn for the study.
C8 is persistent in the environment and human beings, its half-life being about four years.

 Channel 4 - Classic Weapons of World War II - Support vehicles
The tough, 3.5litre Morris C8 was used as a gun tractor to pull artillery pieces, as an ambulance and also as a command vehicle.
Produced from 1939, the Morris C8 became popular with the troops because of its rugged reliability and the fact that it had plenty of room aboard; enough for the gun crew to make themselves a comfortable home.
Most famously, a captured British C8 command vehicle was used by Germany’s General Rommel during the North African campaign.

The 17 pounder (7.62 cm) cannon was a good anti-tank gun and was even capable of penetrating the armour of the VI "Tiger" tank head on.
The 17 pounder was towed by a reliable Morris C8 tractor that had seen long years of service with the British Army.
From 1941 onwards the Jeep produced in the USA was also used in addition to it and as auxiliary supplies.

 Members Vehicle - MVT Essex Branch - Keith Brooker's Morris C8 GS
It was stored in a very large chicken shed that was full of military items, including bits of rockets, an Austin tilley and a Brengun carrier under a lot of junk, most of it needed restoring.
A few miles down the road was the club barn where we rolled the Morris off the back of the recovery truck, having no brakes made it a bit hairy so I volunteeered my mate to sit in it as it came off the back and we pushed it into it's bay.
Like a load of kids with a new toy we started to try and get it going for the first time in thirty years.We did the usual cleaning of plugs and points, replacing the oil, when we undid the oil sump it took us two minutes before we saw anything trying to seep out.

 The 25-pdr Field Gun 1939 - 1972: Part One
Another tractor utilised early on to tow the 25-pdr was one developed by Morris in 1936, the CDSW 6x4 field artillery tractor.
However, the Army wanted to standardise on a 4x4 and such a specification was issued in 1937 with three companies involved: Commer, Guy and Morris Commercial.
The most widely used was the Morris C8 / FWD Field Artillery Tractor (FAT) and became known as the Quad.

 Caunter Scheme Paints Review by Glen Porter (Xtracolours)
To start with, I've sprayed the three colours on to a piece of white card to show the colours side by side and Brett has photographed it along with the three tinlets.
To display the colours on a model I have chosen a Matchbox 1/76 scale Morris C8.
Now this is not technically correct as this vehicle was modified especially to tow the 17 pounder anti tank gun which didn't come into service until much later but it was the only model I had of the right type.

This is one of the last Airfix kits; the gun can elevate, and it came packaged with crew and the Morris transport tractor.
The gun can be assembled as fully unlimbered (carriage removed) partially unlimbered (carriage rotated off the ground, as seen here) or limbered (carriage lowered and supporting the gun).
This Matchbox kit comes with the Morris C8 tractor and a Willys jeep, a very nice set of vehicles.
