At the start of the 2nd WW, Great Britain did not have all the technical equipment needed
for such a conflict, therefore a lot of vehicles were ordered uegently. Motorcycles, mainly
used by the well known DR "Dispatch Riders" for communication between different units,
were converted from civilian bikes with small changes, like military color and the addition
of frames for the canvas bags. triumph proposed in short time the model 3 WH, based
on the civilian "Tiger 80", with an overhead valve engine and parallel forks. This model
served on all fronts where the British Armed Forces fought, such as Africa, Europe and
Asia. After 2nd WW these motorycycles were delivered to many other nations, such as
Italy and Greece, where the Triumphs served for a long time thanks to their reliability
and robustness.
