The Ram Mk. II Kangaroo was a Canadian-designed armoured personnel carrier used during the Second World War to safely transport troops across dangerous terrain.
Converted from surplus Ram cruiser tanks in 1944, it featured thick armour, no main gun, and a low profile to reduce vulnerability in combat.
Despite having no seating and a risky top-entry design, Kangaroos were widely used by Canadian and British forces, proving crucial in combined arms operations.
