If yes, then the name of the LVT a couple of postings up could be Litchborough. A name used on a Sherman Mk I.

Hi Kevin;

From what I've been able to figure out, I would say that they carried over their use of Northamptonshire 'place' names when they converted to 'Buffalos' from Shermans.

and for Mike (Gunner);

Haven't been able yet to figure out the actual AoS marking used by 1st Northants Yeomanry at the time of the Rhine crossing. 33rd Armd Bde Orbat during this time period kept changing.

Cheers
