Monty’s Caravan Monty’s Caravan
Als General Bernard Montgomery im August 1942 das
Kommando über die 8. Britische Armee übernahm, wurden
ihm verschiedene Reisefahrzeuge zum persönlichen Gebrauch
übergeben. Der Leyland Retriever, mit einem italienischen
Wohnaufbau, verblieb bis zum Kriegsende bei „Monty“. Dieser
Wagen ist ursprünglich für den Italienischen General Annabale
Bergonzeli gebaut worden, wurde aber 1941 von einem Trupp
der 7. Britischen Panzerdivision bei Beda Fomm, südlich von
Benghazi (Libyen) gelegen, erbeutet. In der Werkstatt des
Artilleriedepot-Hauptquartiers in Ägypten entfernte man den
Wohnaufbau vom Fahrgestell des Lancia 3RO und montierte
ihn auf einen Leyland Retriever. Der Innenraum des
Wohnaufbaus war in zwei Räume aufgeteilt. Im vorderen Teil
war WC und Waschbecken und im hinteren Raum
Kartenschränke, ein klappbarer Kartentisch sowie eine
Bettcouch. Von General Montgomery wird behauptet, dass er
nur zweimal auf seinen Caravan verzichtet hatte, einmal für
König George VI und ein anderes mal für Winston Churchill,
dem damaligen Premierminister.
Der Daimler MKII Scout Car war einer der weitverbreitesten
englischen Panzerspähwagen des zweiten Weltkrieges, der bei
allen Streitkräften des Commonwealth sowie auf allen
Kriegsschauplätzen Verwendung fand. Dieser Spähwagen
wurde hauptsächlich in Kettenfahrzeug-Verbänden eingesetzt
und bis zum Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges sind insgesamt
6.626 Fahrzeuge hergestellt worden.
In August 1942, when General Bernard Montgomery took
over command of the 8
th
British Army, he was allocated vari-
ous vehicles for his personal use. Monty kept the Leyland
Retriever, with an Italian caravan body until the end of the war.
This vehicle was originally built for the Italian General Annabale
Bergonzeli, but was captured in 1941 by a troop of the 7
th
British tank division at Beda Fomm south of Benghazi (Libya).
At the workshops of the artillery depot headquarters in Egypt
the superstructure was removed from the Lancia 3RO chassis
and fitted onto a Leyland Retriever. The interior of the body
was divided into two rooms. In the front was a WC and wash
basin and in the rear map cabinets, a folding map table and a
bed/couch. General Montgomery claimed that he had only
given up his caravan twice, once for King George VI and once
for the then Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
The Daimler MK II scout car was one of the most widely used
English armoured scout cars from World War II and was used
by all the Commonwealth armed forces and in all theatres of
war. This scout car was mainly used in tracked vehicle units and
by the end of World War II 6,626 had been made.
