British or Canadian Sherman or Stuart Manuals

[tankbarrell]

Short answer is yes, they did. There was one for the specific vehicle, known as a Vehicle Pamphlet and one for the gun, known as Armament Pamphlet. I have quite a few for British and US tanks and they continued well in to the post war period.
For Sherman, I have Sherman I&II, Sherman III and Sherman V vehicle pamphlets as well Sherman 75mm and 105mm armament pamphlets. I also have them for Stuart, Chaffee, Cromwell, Churchill, Centurion etc. Armoured cars had the same. They are good little books with much practical information and comprehensive stowage lists, generally with line drawings but some have photographs.
