Indian Pattern FAT (second edition)
We used to have a long running thread on the Indian Pattern FAT here on MLU. For some unknown reason, it has disappeared... :(
Did anyone somehow save a copy or print-out of that thread? Anyhow, in the meantime I may as well just start over again. |

Thanks for your contribution to rebuilding the database with information on the Indian Pattern FAT. I didn't think about your earlier message, so I have now merged both threads to keep all info in one place. For now I have attached a picture of a line up of the trucks of BATT B (Battery B) of the MARBRIG (Netherlands Marines Brigade) at Waroe, Indonesia, September 1946. The four trucks in the middle are Indian Pattern FATs. Hanno Attachment 110153 |
