Morris C8 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I have just bought a few more carrier photos taken in 1945 of troops driver training on carriers and found this one with the tracks not all the way round. Two carriers with it, first time i have seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) This is a 'get you home' solution known as 'short tracking' that you use if you have damaged an idler or track and don't have spares available. I agree that the photo was taken on a training excercise as the guys don't look too stressed. It can be employed on most tracked armoured vehicles if necessary. It would normally only be done on one side of the vehicle which again suggests that this photo was of a training excercise.
