The Bedford QL was a 3 ton lorry manufactured in the Second World War. Bedford produced a series of versions with the QLR version for use in Command and Signals roles, QLT in terminal equipment roles and other versions for General Service and Troop Carrier roles.
Used by Canada, perhaps due to shortages of the Canadian Military Pattern versions of Signals vehicles.
