Errors, erm ... you do not have a listing for M4A4 Sherman no T-21253x ... ?!?

No seriously, I searched through your listing of names and WD numbers and could only find M4A4's in the T-2122... , T-2123... , T-2124... , T-2126... , T-2127.. ranges, but none in the T-2125... range .

Thanks!

Hi Hanno,

I had been collecting vehicle names from years after someone by the name of Hoss Lister replied to a modelling question I posted on a site.
All I have done is just compiled them and as you can see from the source column I have had names and numbers sent to me from literally all over the world, many of the contributors names are probably familiar to you.
Dick Taylor persuaded me to send him all the names and numbers I had, approx 2500 and he added his Pre and Post war lists and now we have a base to start from. There are errors but hopefully these will be ironed out with updates.

As to your T2125** numbers I looked on my census listing and so far I have only seen a small hand full carrying this number sequencing, and so far none with names. These are the ones I have seen so far:-
T212501 8th Princess Louise (NB) Hussars
T212538 an OP from 15th Field Reg, 6th SA Armoured Div
T212592 Firefly Governor General's Horse Guards
T212594 a Flail A Sqn 22nd Dragoons turret no. 47
T212597 2nd Sqn 2Trp Canadian Genadier Guards turret no. B22

I hope this is of interest and anything you or other members can add will be most welcome.
