Great post Rob. The only thing you left out (IMHO)(and you've covered it before, anyhow) is the LP2s that the U.S forces took up into the islands.

For Roddy, The nearest thing to sending one of our carriers to the U.K was sending one of the Schofield tanks to Bovington. They scrapped it!

I will add for interests sake, during 1942, New Zealand held on strength 400 Stuart tanks and 255 Valentine tanks. (from the official history)
Where'd they go?
