11th Canadian Tank Regiment
My uncle, Jack Edyvean served with C Squadron Ontario Tank Regiment. He had the time of his life in Italy and had many wild stories, including commanding the tank with his left hand stuck up out of the hatch hoping for a "Blighty" during a low period.
He said what really peed them off one day was when a German shot up their cooking gear hanging on the back of the tank.
That was not a good day for the Hun when they put several rounds of HE in the house where he was. Seems to me the name Bennet is mentioned in his picture book.
