A British Soldier Remembers - Logistics of 56th Recce Regiment.

  • Click Flag for Music "Bugle Boy" In the early days of the war, when factories were concentrating on the production of heavy armour, like tanks, there were very few light reconnaissance or armoured cars available for distribution so some improvisation was required.
  • . The first armoured reconnaissance car supplied to the Corps was a makeshift vehicle called the Beaverette which was based on a Humber car fitted with armour plating and equipped with a machine gun.
  • . After training on these improvised vehicles, the first armoured vehicle used in action by Corps units was the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car or LRC, (Also sometimes referred to as an ARC or Armoured Reconnaissance Car), which had a crew of three, (driver, commander, and gunner/radio operator).
  • . This two-wheel drive car, eventually replaced by a four-wheel drive version, was fitted with a light machine gun, (Bren), a smoke discharger, two Lee Enfield .303 rifles and a No.
  • . While some regiments received Daimlers and others, the bulk of the vehicles used by the 56th Reconnaissance Regiment in the early stages of the war were British Humber light armoured cars.
