| Details:
2,962 of the
"Water Buffalo" were built during 1943/4 with
the British receiving 100, the Marines Corps 1,355 and
the Army 1,507. It was later improved by the addition
of extra armour and by redesigning the front cab.
These were
(US23) a big improvement on the earlier LVT1 and first
saw combat at Tarawa. Our master model was redesigned
and improved in early 2002.
