Historical Background

The FV-623 Stalwart limber was an artillery ammunition supply vehicle specifically designed for the Abbot self-propelled gun. There was an extra seat in the cab for the crane operator plus four rear-mounted seats for a seven-man crew. An Atlas 3001/66 hydraulic crane capable of lifting three tons was added to the cargo area to lift palletized loads of ammunition. The rear crew folding seats were separated from the main cargo area by a wooden divider, and protected from inclement weather by two folding PVC hoods on metal hoops. A total of 269 Mk.2 Stalwart limbers were produced, serving with British Army artillery units to provide essential ammunition resupply for self-propelled artillery batteries. The Stalwart's amphibious capability and load-carrying capacity made it an invaluable logistics vehicle for supporting mobile artillery operations.
