Homeguard Armoured Tractor

Like something straight out of "Dad's Army", this armoured tractor is typical of the gap filling measures used by the British Homeguard against the risk of German Invasion of Britain in 1940. Following the defeat in France and the withdrawl from Dunkirk, the British Army had left behind most of it's equipment in France and Belgium. As a result, stop gap measures were used to provide both vehicles for defence of isolated Britain as well as training vehicles for exercises.
