List of British military equipment of World War II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of British military equipment of World War II which includes artillery, vehicles and vessels. This also would largely apply to Commonwealth of Nations countries in World War II like Australia, India and South Africa as the majority of their equipment was British as they were at that time influenced or controlled by the British Empire. However commonwealth countries did make their own unique weapons like the Owen gun and Vickers–Berthier.
