JOHN 
I was very fortunate to have met Maurice
Howard. I was standing near this Bren Carrier waiting for the presentation
with Vera Lynn and over heard a conversation next to me. It turns out Maurice
drove a Carrier across North Africa during that campaign. I struck up a
conversation with him that was fascinating. We discussed the finer points
of carrier driving and its nuances. He told me he had not seen a carrier
in 40 years until this one.
Vera Lynn is a very famous USO singer from WWII and Maurice remembers seeing
her during his service.
Some time ago, I posted pictures of a WWII ship wreck. This wreck was littered
with carriers. Maurice was supposed to get one of the carriers from that
wreck. They were slated to go to his unit. Thank you to Maurice's grandson,
Roger for sending me these photos.
