Thanks Hanno. Do you have dates or place names for the Priest photos? When there is no Archives number I can usually find the original negative with that.
Clive, as per the captions:

- http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...acr/m7_01.html - Priest SP Guns of 33rd Field Artillery Regiment in Normandy, June 1944.

- http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...acr/m7_02.html - The Public Archives of Canada (DND Army 36069), 'Priest' self-propelled gun of the 19th Field Regiment, R.C.A., Normandy, July 1944.

- http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...acr/m7_04.html - A column of Priest Kangaroos on the move troops forward in Normandy during August 1944. Contact the Tank Museum to see if the can help with an Archives reference number.

- http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...acr/m7_05.html - M7 Priest Kangaroos formed up with infantry prior to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division attack on Boulogne, 17 September, 1944.

- http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...acr/m7_07.html - no date mentioned in the caption, but Private Loren Nelson - The Battle of the Twente Canal captions this picture as follows "A jubilant crown meets the vehicles of 4 Division, which moved north through the village of Delden on the 4th of April 1945. Members of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment are already in town, many can be seen in the bottom right of this photo."

Hope this helps, am looking forward to the book!

Regards,
Hanno
