Default Re: Lloyd Carrier

Yes, usually a prime mover for the 6-pounder, though the Universal carrier could also be used. the Loyd was unarmoured though detachable armour plates could be fitted. According to the now dead Col Paddy de Burgh of the Royal School of Artillery at Larkhill (himself an Arnhem veteran) these plates were rarely used, probably to save weight.
