The Morris C8 was a versatile and reliable vehicle that served as a field artillery tractor for the British and Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. It was designed by Morris Commercial, a subsidiary of Morris Motors, and was based on the Morris CS8 15 cwt truck. The Morris C8 had a distinctive sloping rear body that could carry six men and various types of ammunition. It was powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine that gave it a top speed of 80 km/h and a range of 260 km.
The Morris C8 could tow field guns such as the 25-pounder and the 17-pounder, as well as limbers and trailers. It was also equipped with a winch that could pull up to four tons. The Morris C8 was first delivered in 1939 and remained in production until 1945, with over 10,000 units built by different manufacturers. It saw action in various theatres of war, including France, North Africa, Italy and Burma. It was also used by the Danish Army after the war.
