Tarland Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 https://servicepub.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/the-ram-kangaroo-armoured-personnel-carrier-part-1/ Link to a series of articles on a Canadian Military History website on the foreunner of the modern APC. Gives a history of the conversion of the M3 Priests to APC's for the first phase of Operation Totalize (the action described in Ken Tout's book "Tank!!") It also covers the conversion of the RAM tank to the Kangaroo proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I only got as far as the second sentence before spotting a mistake: The Kangaroo was the world’s first fully tracked ‘Armoured Personnel Carrier.’ I think the Mark IX pre-dates the Kangaroo by a fair amount: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_IX_tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
