The Canadian Dodge hasn't been really used on battlefield, maybe the american type has.

The Canadian Dodge T212 D8A was extensively used by British forces on the battlefields of North Africa, though obviously, in that theatre, not by Canadian forces.

It consisted basically of the front end of the US Dodge 1/2 ton series, though with a hard top cab and slightly smaller engine, married to the body of the British (sorry, and early CMP) 8 cwt radio and personnel trucks.

Thanks Chris,

But Kenny is referring to the Canadian Dodge Weapon Carrier APT 3/4 (T236).
