The term is short-tracking and is a recovery technique. Although it means breaking track, counting links, hammering pins out and in, and retensioning. Anything that will get you home I suppose.

Default Universal Carrier Track Bashing
Universal Carrier track bashing looks like fun! Especially while smoking a cigarette.

RHLI carriers. Of note is the Hell’s Angles motif on the sides. The entire carrier platoon at the time carried them.

Nice ones, Keith. Shows that the Carrier was a truly Universal vehicle as it was used by a huge number of armies over a long period of time and in practically every theatre of operation.

Are these Belgians in the British Army during the war, or soldiers of the Belgian Army after the war?

That’s not unusual

Since it’s mounted on the engine cover on the Belgian vehicle too, it’s (almost certainly) an MMG Carrier.
