Based on the Canadian "RAM", the "Kangaroo" represents the first real Armored Personnel Carrier,
although Priests and Sherman had been converted for the APC role earlier in Italy and in the Normandy
Campaign. Introduced in Sept.'44, they were issued to the 1ste Canadian Armored Carrier Regiment and
the British 49th Armored Personnel Carrier Regiment, both regiments being absorbed in December into the
79th Armored Division. Proving to be very popular, they could carry an Infantry Section of eight men.
The 79th Arm. Division used 300 Kangaroos in operations in N.W. Europe from December 1944 until
the end of hostilities.
