I was wondering if the canadian version of the Sherman M4A1, the Grizzly, was ever use in Europe or England?? Any pictures in service ??

The Grizzly chassis was the foundation for the Skink AA Tank. One went to Europe for 'operational' trials and saw extensive duty with 4th Cdn Armd Div. Very few photos exist of the Skink and none that were taken in Europe that I know of. Service Publications will be publishing a booklet on the Skink, written by Roger Lucy, in the near future as part of our "Weapons of War" series.
