Canadian Experimental Armoured cars - 1935

[gcrossley]

Hi Roger,

In our museum we have a VHS copy of a film of one of the cars in training use with the Manitoba Dragoons.

Scenes show troops in a mix of military and civilan clothing loading cloth ammunition belts and firing the hull-mounted vickers, and the vehicle driving about an open field and negotiating a shallow ditch.

I don't know which of the two it is, but could have another look.

We have a single photo, showing Cpl Cuddie of the FGH standing by the car. From the uniform items, I would expect it was taken in Shilo in the summer of 1940.
