Hello Mark,
Unfortunately the sad point is that one would be hard pressed to find a reference or a book that dose not contain some errors. Anyways, I went back to the “Gunners of Canada” and I did find a reference to the 7th A/T Regt using Crusaders in NWE in April 1945 as followers: “For a week during the fighting for Arnhem, three batteries of Lt.-Col. George Hutchison's 7th Anti-Tank Regiment, minus their S.P.'s, 17-pounders and Crusader towers, found themselves committed to an infantry role, manning the east bank of the Ijssel about Westervoort. Later they moved onto the "island," to continue their holding role, under command of the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade.” (p430) The question now is did the 7th A/T Regt have the Crusaders in Italy, or did they receive them only after their move to NWE.
