| Notes | In 1941 the British required a new medium to heavy armoured car to equip units serving in North Africa. Around the same time the US ordnance board were also issuing orders for a similar vehicle. After trials in the US the British were offered the T17E1 which they re-named the Staghound. It had a 37mm M6 gun with a coaxial mounted .30 cal Browning machine and another mounted in the hull. It carried a crew of five. The Staghound served with the British, Canadian, New Zealand, Indians, Free Polish and Belgian forces in both Italy and Northwest Europe. |
