I have the name ASP as a Churchill belonging to 51st RTR, T68384 ( Mr Churchill's Tank ) also T172439 probably a replacement tank.
North Irish Horse named all of their tanks after Irish cities, towns and villages. So I would pass on that one.
I would be interested in any names that you may come across for my database. Currently 2900+ names.
Cheers

Hi Kevin;
This could very well be a tank of 51 RTR, the AoS serial of '175' corresponds to their placement within the 25th Army Tank Brigade (serials 173 to 176)(UK/N. Africa/Italy 1942-1944). The W.D. number on this one is T32417.
A couple more Churchill names for "A" Sqn, 51 RTR
Achilles, Apollo, Adventurer, Audacious and
Arrogant and three for "C" Sqn,
Centaur, Centurion and
Cyclops.
Cheers
