Canadian tank names

[John McGillivray]

Thank you Kevin for the tank names.

The only problem I have is with the ammo tanks. In the LdSH Regimental history it states that the ammo tanks were old Stuart Vs (M3A3) that were used by the recce troop in Italy. When LdSH moved to NWE in March 1945 the recce troop’s M3A3 were replaced by M5A1s (Stuart VI). Seven of the old recce tanks were retained and converted to ammo carriers.

Dose anyone know it the old Stuarts kept their names from the recce troop, or were they given new names with the old names being transferred to the new M5A1s?

Here is a photo from the Regimental history showing two of the ammo carriers.
