Re Usage of Kangaroos.

In Peter Whites book 'With the Jocks' He talks about getting lift with the Canadians on several occasions during the campaign in the Low countries and Germany. Peter White was in the British 52nd Lowland division.

During the Normandy campaign the 51st Highland division was lifted in Kangaroos when they were assigned to the Canadian Army.

I wonder how many Kangaroos that was ever built.
Regarding the combat handling of the Kangaroo, White writes that several was knocked out by AP shots. In their stay in Holland White records training with the Canadian. Apparently they had to discard a lot of kit, bar their gas cape before riding the Kangaroo. This was a big problem during the winter as the cold proved to be a bigger scare than the Germans.
