In every major battle of World War II, one machine worked in silence while others took the glory.
It didn’t fire shells or drop bombs — but without it, none of those weapons would have reached the front.
This is the untold story of the Morris C8 Field Artillery Tractor, the British “Quad” that hauled the 25-pounder gun across deserts, mountains, and mud.
Built under air raids, driven by exhausted crews through every climate on Earth, the C8 became the most dependable machine in the British Army.
From the sands of El Alamein to the hedgerows of Normandy, from factory floors in Birmingham to quiet English farms after the war, this is the journey of the beast that never quit — the machine that carried victory on its back.
This is not a tale of firepower.
It’s a tale of endurance, of men and metal bound by trust.
A tribute to Britain’s forgotten warhorse.
