Is there any evidence of the Morris seeing any war-time active service as some people describe them like the Austin K6's as being effectivly post-war vehicles due to their late war introduction dates.

Smile 1944 Morris C8 GS

Hi Neil, I have only seen two photos of them in 1945, one was in a victory prade in Germany with a RA Rgt, that was in Wheels & Tracks Mag and one in the UK in devon,apart from that i have not seen any in war time use, at best they were used 6 months before the end of the war. most photos i have seen have them used in Korea.
