Crewman
If you are interested in which units actualy used the Diesel engined Sherman 111 (M4A2), can I recommend Peter Browns article in 'Tracklink' number 41 (contact Tank Museum for copy).
To summarize, Peter notes that the Sherman 111 was principaly restricted to the independaent armoured brigades.
In June 1944 8th AB had 95, 27th AB 126, 2nd CdnAB 95, and 150 were with the Armoured Replacement Group.
Total 466.
The most commom model in service was the Sherman V (M4A4) with 940 with units or ARG (not including Fireflies on same chassis).
After this date unfortunately Shermans were only identified by gun type in the offical records.
