When WWII broke out the British War Office contracted Bedford to produce a 3 ton 4X4
general service truck. In February 1940 the prototype of the QL series was ready with full
production beginning in March 1940 at their Vauxhall factory in Luton. As the war
progressed there was a need for various types of 3 ton trucks. Bedford devised trucks for
troop carrying, fire tenders, communications, tankers, Bofors gun tractor and several others
applications. Between 1940 and 1945 there were approximately 52,250 QL trucks produced.
The Polish 1st Armoured Division was formed in Scotland on February 25, 1941. The
Division fought in Normandy, through France, Belgium and the Netherlands before entering
Germany in the Emsland area on April 8, 1945. On May 5, 1945 German forces capitulated
and on May 6, 1945 the Polish 1st Armored Division occupied the German Naval Base at
Wilhemhaven. They remained in northwest Germany as the occupation power until the
Division was disbanded. Most Polish soldiers didn’t return to Soviet occupied Poland and
chose to live in exile.
