Description
The Universal Carrier Mk.I appeared in 1940. It differed from earlier Carriers in having three compartments: the front was unchanged, and one compartment added to each side of the engine. These had raised rectangular sides which increased load capacity. It could carry up to six men and had more space for weapons or cargo. The basic Universal Carrier was often called "Bren Carrier" as it was armed with a .303 Bren light machine gun. Other variants included MMG (Vickers .303 MG) Artillery Tractor (6 Pounder A/T gun), Wireless (No9 or No19 radio set), Observation Post (OP), Wasp Flamethrower and Slave (extra batteries and starting equipment). They were used by almost all branches of the British and Commonwealth armies, with 113,000 being produced.
