The ‘Bren Gun Carrier’ Story
Featuring specially-commissioned artwork, a compact guide to this fast, lightly armed vehicle, used extensively during practically every World War II campaign.

Featuring specially-commissioned artwork, a compact guide to this fast, lightly armed vehicle, developed by the British Army to carry infantry across ground defended by small-arms fire, specifically the Bren light machine gun.

This name, 'Bren Gun Carrier' would stick with the Universal Carrier and all of its future variants. This book examines the Carrier, which was employed in a number of roles including carrying ammunition and towing anti-aircraft guns and trailers. All Allies used the Universal Carrier extensively during practically every World War II campaign.

By the war’s end, the Universal Carrier had proved itself to be an invaluable and successful cross-country vehicle that was both agile and fast for its time.
