Default Universal Carriers with the BEF

Following on a thread on WW2talk where Richard Harrison pointed out that there were Universals in use with the 2nd BEF at least (52nd Infantry Division at Cherbourg in June)

http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/1940/85...arkings-4.html

I remembered this thread and an image that I saved recently from the history site of the town of Poperinge. It shows T8134 which Nigel Watson lists as a Nuffield UC Mk1. The image is dated 27th May 1940.



Sorry for the clumsy screen save.

According to the War Diaries of HQ GS for 2nd Div, most of their transport was abandoned at Poperinge but in view of the confusion, this one could have been used by other units.
