Description
Mount Martha, Vic. c.1940-10. A Universal Carrier (Bren Gun Carrier) caught in the barbed wire during trials conducted at Mt. Martha Military Camp to determine the effects of driving tracked vehicles through loosely coiled barbed wire. This carrier was probably the first armoured vehicle in Australia and was used as a prototype for the manufacture of these vehicles. (Donor; R. Andrews)
