trucks identification

[Larry Hayward]

I recently found this photo showing a CMP 2 pdr AT portee in Sicily, in use by the AT Coy of the 5th Bn East Yorks Regt, 69th Bde, 50th Infantry Division. The photo was taken in Catania in August 1943 and confirms that the 2 pdr and its Portee was in use a little longer than many references would have us believe!

I wonder if the 50th Div took these Portees to Italy and what happened to them after the Div was withdrawn to the UK in early 1944.

Note the unit serial 60 and TT Div sign on the mudguard.
