 The Morris CDSW 6x4 was a British Field Artillery tractor a six-wheeled military vehicle , which was derived from the Morris C-type and was first produced in 1935 for the British Army .

This was mostly used to pull the 18-pounder rapid-fire field cannon and the 4.5-inch rapid-fire howitzer . Both were later supplemented by the 25-pounder rapid-fire cannon howitzer and later completely replaced.

In 1939, the CDSW AA launched with a modified chassis and engine of the Morris CVF and was used to tow the 40mm Bofors guns in the Light Anti Aircraft (LAA) Regiment. There was also a version of the CDSW with a built-up crane used as a breakdown recovery truck. In its main function, the hauling of the 25-pounders, this was replaced in 1939 by the Morris C8 . The CDSW AA had a six-cylinder gasoline engine with 60 hp power as the drive and was also available in a version for the fire department . Like the Morris C8 , the CDSW was used on all fronts of the Second World War as well as in the Korean War . And production also ended in 1945.
