Empire & Allied Armoured Vehicle Census Numbers

[Roddy de Normann]

Hanno -

Thanks for this - spotted it myself this evening while looking at the same site ! Unfortunately I have no details of that aprticular veh.

Meanwhile on the same site, there is a pic of a Sherman racing into Eindhoven on 18 Sep 44. The WD no appears to be T-232394. I hold this as a Sherman Firefly that in Apr/May 45 was KOed. The Wright & Harkness Veh Cas Report stated:

Germany - Veh creeping fwd when likely hit R-43 mine. RH front suspension unit blown off & track broken. Crew unhurt - Wright & Harkness RAC Cas Study, Jan 1946

Obviously the Sep 44 pic shows a standard Sherman V, so I am not sure if it was converted and, if so, when ?

Hope this helps

Roddy
