Stuart registration numbers

[Jack Geratic]

Any known numbers, (or partials), for a Stuart V used early in Normandy by Canadian units?

regards,
Jack

Here are some numbers that I have come across over the years.

None from early Normandy though; the 27 CAR number is from a casualty report in August, the C Sqn numbers are from Tank States from July, and the 4 Cdn Armd Div numbers are from the tanks they brought to Normandy in late July.

Tony, thanks for that list.

I'm actually looking to build a model from the 1st Hussars, so at least now I know what the number series might look like - just have to make sure I don't repeat any of the ones you have kindly provided.

Actually, all markings will be a guesstimate, as the internet has not garnered any photos at all.

regards,
Jack

Tony...

Do you have the relevant file numbers for the differing groups ? I also have additional material for some of the numbers that I will post in the future.

Many thanks

Roddy
