CGT portee
Thanks David for your very detailed response.
In my opinion there is a reason for the scarce use of this vehicle in North Africa. The trucks were shippend form Canada to Britain in early 1942 when the 2 pounder gun was obsolete as AT gun. Furthermore the gun cannot fire directly from the platform of the CGT chassis.
Well, in North Africa the gun of portees was more frequently used directly from the truck though the HQs recommended the fire only after the gun was dismounted from the trucks.
The CGT was probably unpratical in North Africa battlefield.
