Seriously, it is an interesting use of the word 'limber', being applied to an independent self propelled support vehicle carrying ammunition. So what was the actual nomenclature - "Truck, Limber, 6x6, ammunition, for the carriage of'?? or something equally military (and British)?
Best regards Mike

I can't find the exact nomenclature at the moment, but just for interest, here is a link to Jane's, regarding the 6x6 Fodens in service with the British Army. http://articles.janes.com/articles/J...d-Kingdom.html It just goes to show that words or names of things evolve as do the items they represent and the dictionary is not always up to date with modern usage. regards, Richard
