Hello all!

I have been able to dig up some more information on some British and U.S. Armoured units as a comparison. I have found a few that made one Assault Landing but only the following that have made more than one. Once again, the definition that I am using for an "Assault Landing" is one that landed the day of the assault and not later. The definition for a "Non-Assault Landing" is one that still made a landing but not on the day of the assault but later.

Assault Landings:

3rd County Of London Yeomanry (As a part of the British 4th Armoured Brigade)
-Sicily on July 10, 1943
-Sicily on August 15, 1943 - A sea-borne expedition to cut roads behind enemy lines involving a Squadron of 3CLY.

Non-Assault Landings:

3rd County Of London Yeomanry (As a part of the British 4th Armoured Brigade)
-Italy on September 23, 1943
-Normandy on June 7, 1944


Unsure of whether these are Assault or Non-Assault Landings:

U.S. 70th Tank Battalion
-North Africa on November 8, 1942
-Sicily on July 10, 1943
-Normandy on June 6, 1944

U.S. 191st Tank Battalion
-Italy on September 9, 1943
-Italy on January 22, 1944
-France on August 15, 1944

Any corrections or additions to these lists will be welcome! There is much more information out there to make this list much more complete!

Cheers,
