Hi guys,
Does anyone can tell the equipment the Three-Rivers Regiment has when landing in Sicily? I'm trying to get as many info as I can on this unit.
Thanks

Luc,

Did you see the regimental History of Three Rivers Regiment that is on line (in French) at the link below.

Hi John,
Thank you for the link. I have this book already in my collection. What I'm looking for is a list of vehicles that the TRR used in Italy and Europe. They surely had some Sherman V, but what else ? I can't find anything, so I tought that the fellows here with their bank of information may have some answer.

Hi Luc;

Prior to leaving the UK for the Mediterranean theatre the 12th Canadian Army Tank Regiment (Three Rivers Regiment (Tank)), C.A.C., had (AFVs only) as of 10 June 1943:

66x M4A4 (Sherman V)
10x Universal Carrier
9x Ford Lynx Scout Car

Hope this helps.

Cheers
