Hi Eric

For some reason your .bmp isn't displaying - can you please try resaving it as a .jpg?

I tried opening it in Photoshop which gave an "unexpected end of file"

Were you at Corowa?

Default Carrier 1587

Thanks for posting the pic, Eric.

Looking at my database, this is a new addition, which is good. I also notice it's serial is in the middle of a batch of South Australian Railway built carriers - is this the case with yours?

I am having trouble with photos of my English Carrier.
I will keep trying.
It says that the image is too big and it should be 700 x0.
I don't understand.

For Keith,
yes my Australian carrier was made at S.A. R..

cheers

Default English Carrier

Your English Carrier T58471 incase you are interested is a 3" Mortar Carrier if this number is correct. One of a batch of 360 built between March 1941 and November 1941 by Sentinel Wagon, England. Can you confirm this number by any chance. It should be stamped on the edge of the armour infront of the drivers position.

Default British Carrier ID

Nigel,
thanks for the information.
But as you can see in the photo, there is not much left of the armour in front of the driver.
Can you please be a bit more specific.
