M32 TRV or other variants

[wim sikkelbein]

Did the British/Canadians use the m32 tank recovery vehicle or any of its variants during ww2?
On missing lynx.com (a modelling forum) some one mentioned the 15/18 krh as British users, can anyone confirm this?
Hanno's sherman register mentions the sherman II arv III for the m32b1 in british designation.

thanks wim

Wim,

All I know is that the British used the Sherman II ARV III (M32B1 TRV) in the Middle East.

By the way 15-18 krh is probably 15-19 kings royal hussars

Did they refer to the picture shown below from the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars (RAC)website? This photo comes from Cliff Dowding. He was a Trooper in Recce Troop 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars, but that does not mean for certain this M32B1 TRV belonged to the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars.
