WS38 in Canadian use
The Canadian Army Overseas showed interest in the WS38 in early 1943. A request of 9 April 1943 for 20 sets for training purposes was placed with the UK.
Besides the infantry the set was adopted for armoured regiments. It was accepted on British scales and could be requested on a 1098.
Initially only the battery version was available (Plan A) and was fitted to purpose. The later AFV version (Plan B) replaced these. The set remained in use through the end of the war.
Here are some reports on the set.
