Photo of the Day: Harbor of Toulon

Photo of the Day: Carden Loyd Light Tractor

Today’s photo is of a British Carden Loyd Light Tractor.  This particular example has, rather amusingly,  been armed with a light machine gun.  One would think that they might have at least provided the poor gunner with a gun shield of some sort…

This photo comes from Tanks and Armored Vehicles 1900-1945 by Col. Robert J. Icks, published in 1945 and reissued in 1970.
