1943 White M3A1 Half Track
Here is our recently acquired White M3A1 half track. The troopers of the three line infantry squadrons of the regiment were transported in vehicles such as these. This vehicle is currently under cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The overall colour is correct however it does not have appropriate regimental markings. Pictures will be added as the project progresses.
Newly added heavy transport

As you can see from this picture, the M3 has been repainted and is now loaded on my Peterbuilt with Hyster low boy trailer. I quickly found out that when you own armour, you need something to transport it any distance. So in my infinite wisdom, I purchased a truck to haul my toy. So far I'm not divorced however. Detailed pictures of the half track markings will soon follow.

Here is a shot of the marking details of the rear of my M3. Sizing and placement of the insignia came from a mixture of the official regimental history, as well as some photos I've collected from various books.

Here we see the frontal markings for the M3 to include the all important bridge weight marker.

The final side view shows two unique markings to help identify the vehicle. Firstly, the square shows that the half track belongs to the second squadron within the regiment. The C.O. inside the square means this vehicle belongs to the commanding officer of the squadron. Secondly, the word "pancerny" was the original squadron commander's personal name for his half track. Roughly translated it means "covered in armour."

Here is a look at two of the many motorcycles owned by our member Brian Neri. These are both BSA M-20's but with slight variations between the two. The M20 in the foreground made it's introductory appearance with our unit at the Wings Wheels and Tracks show in Cobleskill this year.

December 2008, Brian Neri proudly shows that are no wimps in the Dragoons. Astride his early war Indian Scout he is undaunted by the snow. U.S. ambassador to Poland Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle (1937 - 43) gave 20 of these machines, known to the British as Indian Mark I's, to the Polish army shortly after it's arrival in England. The 10th Dragoons received several of them as they were the reconnaissance unit for the fledgling 1st Armoured Division.
