The Lorry, Wireless, Morris Type was a 30-cwt (2 ton) six wheeled Morris Commercial D Type 6 x 4 Lorry fitted with W/T bodywork for a 'C' set wireless.
Two were authorized for purchase by Canada in 1930 after the Minister of National Defence made a request to the Privy Council to purchase them through the War Office from the manufacturer. The vehicles were for training purposes and one can be seen along with other Signals vehicles pictured in this 1936 photo.
