What we know today is that the British Army donated fifty two (52) Centaurs to the Greeks the first months of 1946 in order to complete the equipment of the latter with british materials and to use all these against the communist rebels at a second fase. Of cource, training on Centaurs was awarded to British istructors. The tanks formed three squadrons.

1. Here, Major V.J. Senior (L) and his assistant Major "Q" Kirby (R) in front of a Sherman ARV M-32 and a Centaur.
2. Before a military parade at Athens, Oct 1947.
3. Centaurs at the training campus, at Attica 1947. At left, maybe a Lynx.
