The PCR is often described as a forces welfare receiver (its post war role), however its true origins and actual use during the period 1944 - 1946 are not clear. War-time employees of Pye Ltd in Cambridge have described the equipment as a portable communications receiver or "Invasion Receiver," for use by the British Army forces in Europe after the Normandy landings to receive military progress broadcasts as they moved across Europe. Recent information confirms that the set was also supplied to Resistance groups in Norway, Holland and France.
This PCR was manufactured by Philips Lamps LTD. England.
Production dates on capacitors is of 1944 and with very low serial number.
I believe that this PCR was of the first production in 1944.
