Default Some observations.

Al, James, thanks for the information and pictures! I must confess this is the first I've heard of Provost using Fox.

re: the pictures:

1. No guns are mounted.
2. Wireless set (or at least aerials) is.
3. Strange white (?) bins on vehicle left side (top picture), not on right (lower picture).
4. This is the first Fox picture I've seen other than factory photos that show vehicles with straight fenders.

I assume the two pictures are of the same vehicle?

So proven Fox usage is:

Canadian armoured recce and armoured car regiments in England 1942/43, and Royal Canadian Corps of Signals attached to their HQ's

Royal Canadian Dragoons (1st Canadian Corps) and 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards (1st Canadian Infantry Division) in Italy, 1943/44

Polish Army, Italy 1944/45

Canadian Provost Corp (3rd Canadian Division CAOF at least), NW Europe, 1945

Postwar Italy
Postwar Portugal
Postwar Holland (in service in Indonesia)

Suspected use may include some examples reaching North Africa in 1943 and British or Indian use in SE Asia.

Confirmation or additions?
