Where CMP 2 Pdr Portees used in Far East
 
The Aussies used plenty of CMP 2 Pdr portees in N. Africa but where they ever used operationally in the far east? Anyone have any pictures?

While I have not seen any reference to them being used in the Pacific or Far East I do have some copies of AWM photos captioned as showing them training in the Northern Territory and Darwin. The 2pd'er was an effective anti tank gun on the lighter Japanese tanks. :)

The 2pdr Portee on a 134"wb CMP was used by the Aust 4th Anti-Tank Regiment in Malaya and Singapore. Their Vehicles, along with the rest of the Australian 8th Division were captured with the fall of Singapore.
