Notes | Light Reconnaissance version of the Dodge ¾ ton family. It was used for transporting Officers and as a light reconnaissance vehicle. It was soon realised that as a recon vehicle the Jeep was much better and as a command vehicle its distinct profile drew enemy fire, so the WC-56 was confined to rear areas. |
