Default British Use?

Just got a copy of "Breakdown" by Brian Baxter (REME Museum) on loan from my local Library - in this he states that 604/Trailmobile combinations were sent to Egypt in 1941 or 1942 (quoting from memory - at work right now) as Tank Transporters because of the shortage of same but were not well regarded as the payload was too small. Also states that some units had a 15cwt body fixed on the swan neck for tool storage - so this was before they were supplied with tool boxes there.

So they were used by the British........?

But were they used by the British in NW Europe? this thread seems to imply that only the Canadians used them (as Engineer Equipment carriers) in '44 and '45
