ברנקרייר
שריונית נושאת ברן שמשה את הצבא הבריטי בארץ בתקופת המנדט הבריטי. הצבא המצרי בפלישתו למרחבי הדרום בנגב במלחמת העצמאות השתמש בשריוניות כאלה.
חיילי "גבעתי" שהתאמנו בחוסמסה הדפו את הפולש המצרי ופתחו את הדרך לנגב וסיני.
שלל שיריוניות ה"ברנקרייר" שנפלו לידיהם הופנו על ידם מול האויב המצרי.
נתרם ע"י קיבוץ "נחשונים".
שופץ על ידי סמ"צ 499, באמצעות מועצת פועלי חולון בשנת תשנ"א.

Translation of the text on the sign:

Bren Carrier
Armor bearing Bern served the British Army in the country during the British Mandate. The Egyptian army in its invasion of the southern Negev during the War of Independence used such armor.
Givati soldiers who trained in Hosmasa repulsed the Egyptian invader and opened the way to the Negev and Sinai.
The variety of Bren Carriers armor that fell into their hands was directed by them in the face of the Egyptian enemy.
Donated by Kibbutz Nachshonim.
Renovated by IDF 499, through the Holon Workers’ Council in 1991.
