Not only is it a regimental list of WD numbers, but also the employment of each vehicle within the regiment.

The format of the list is: Veh type, WD number, Employment, Squadron, Echelon.

Sher V, T 150503, C22, 3, -

Sherman V CT150503 "accompanied the regiment from England and moved with them through all ops until VE day" - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...402#post287402

Here is the link to the list mentioned at the start of this thread:

As previously mentioned, there is no date on the list, and the regiment did not yet have it’s full complement of A vehicles ( they were still short Sherman Vc, and AA tanks).

Attached is an image of the first page.

I have looked at the war diary to attempt to determine the likely date that the list was produced.

My best guess is approx 9 June 1944, given the state of waterproofing, and the regiment only having one Sherman Vc in their possession.
