Picture of Sexton?
 
Does anyone happen to know whether there’s a good downloadable picture of a Sexton somewhere on the Net?

Also, am I correct in supposing that the Ram tanks never saw active service as such? I understand that FOO tanks were used by the 23rd Field Regt (SP) and that these were Rams. However, they were much modified and had a false gun.

Comments appreciated.

Mike, search this forum or google Sexton SPG and see if there is anything to your liking.

Correct, this was the Ram Command/OP. Gun was removed to make room for map table and extra radio set.

Hello Mike

There are a lot of Sexton photos on the ArchiviaNet web site as follows:

and

Just click on the square on the left to see the descriptive record, and then on the small photo to see the full size photo. Note that some of the "Tank" photos on the second link are Sextons.
