Description

The British army had no need for Matildas by 1945 but they suited the Aussie campaigns in dense jungle or long grass where engagment ranges were typically a few metres or less.
-
Note the armoured front mudguards that covered the idler wheel and tracks. Designed, made & fitted in Australia.

Cameraman in the front has a real war face ;-)
