Default Windsor Carrier in Canadian service

Hello All:

Sorry for another newbie question but here goes.

I'm wondering if the Canadian army used the Windsor Carrier, to tow 6 pounders, at Normandy and beyond. In an RT (Vol 25 No. 1) Don Dingwall wrote that, "[e]vidence of Windsors in Canadian service is virtually non-existent". Dingwall also said that the British 7th and 11th Armoured Divisions used the Windsor as a tow vehicle towards the "end of the war".

In Doug Knight's 'The 6-Pounder Anti-Tank Gun in Canadian Service' (page 13) it's indicated that the CMHQ decided to use the Windsor Carrier as the standard 6-pounder towing vehicle in April of 1944.

So my question remains; were Windsors used by the Canadian military at Normandy and beyond? Thanks for any help. Wes
