The Oxford was substantially larger - weighing in at 6 tons - than the 3-ton Universal Carrier it was designed to replace. It saw service in the Korean War, both as a tractor for the 17 pdr anti-tank gun and as an APC. Several versions of the carrier (CT21-35R, CT23-26) are listed in Chamberlain and Ellis (1973).[2][3][4][5]
