Tobruk Gun Crew with Italian Breda Mounted to Chev

[Lionelgee]

Hello All,

I was able to answer one of my own questions. According to Wiki....

In North Africa, the Commonwealth forces captured a large number of Breda Model 35s during Operation Compass, enabling the Australian 2/3 Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment,[3] parts of the 4th Anti-Aircraft Brigade (which had a total of 42 Bredas in its Light Anti-Aircraft batteries during the Siege of Tobruk) and one battery of 106th (Lancashire Hussars) Regiment, RHA to be equipped with them.

Captured Bredas were used by the Long Range Desert Group and aboard a number of Royal Australian Navy and Royal Navy vessels including HMAS Vendetta, HMAS Perth[4] and HMS Ladybird, and at least one Marmon-Herrington Mk II armoured car
