About the CMP FAT + 25 Pounder:
The CMP FAT, or Field Artillery Tractor, was an artillery tractor of the British and Commonwealth forces during WWII. CMP stood for Canadian Military Pattern, and was applied to a number of trucks and utility vehicles built in Canada that combined British design requirements with North American automotive engineering. As with other FATs, the CMP was usually used to tow either the 25-pounder howitzer or the 17-pounder anti-tank gun. A power winch was located above the rear axle for maneuvering the gun or unbogging the vehicle.
The first models were produced in 1940 and the body went through a number of design changes throughout the war. Post-war examples were supplied to Denmark who provided their own bodywork.
