if it was servicable i would say yes. You really need to stand back and look at the desperate situation we were in at Dunkirk we were pretty much flee'ing for our lives and ordinance / vehicles were sabotaged and left right up to the beache's. the germans had ford before the war and many of their trucks were powered by ford units so the carrier was an easy fix other than track etc... but as we had left so much stuff behind they had a healthy stock of spares........ my great uncle Jimmy Lawson was on the beaches at Dunkirk got covered in phosphorus, he had the shakes through nerve damage right up to the day he died in 2003.
