... ... it must be the Haitian sun in your eyes ... or your getting to be ancient and your sight is fading ...

I've used a bright red arrow to point the Sherman (BARV) out to you ...

Excellent photo Clive - could I ask where it came from. I hav not seen many photos of the wading D8. The information I have is that 50 of these were available for D Day, they were used by Beach Recovery sections of REME and could wade up to 6ft. Originally they were called Porpoises untill this name was given to the armoured sledge - they never got another name

John Marchant had one these some years ago, with hull still in place and a friend of mine also had one once, but the hull had been cut down so that it could be used conventionally.

Found it at Canadian Library & Archives. It is a detail of a larger picture which I will try to upload tomorrow.
