Best References for M4 ARVs (Commonwealth Service)?

Chris Ballance · #1 16-01-10, 21:37

I saw where Service Publications was working on Canadian M4 ARV book and wondered are there any other books with good coverage of Commonwealth M4 ARVs? I know there are a number of good photos in David Fletcher's and Dennis Oliver's Concord books. I have ordered Jeff Plowman's Kiwi Armour and NZ markings books and I am hoping for one or two ARV photos.

Anybody have any other recommendations?

Best Regards,

One of the older Allied/Axis series of books published by Amphersand has a good series of ARV photographs in it of the variants used by the British/Commonwealth as well as the M32 used by the Americans.

I`ll check later and see what number it is. I have some scans too but maybe the same as what Kevin is offering.

I totally missed Allied & Axis No.4 by Ampersand Publishing.

Having a copy of their great "Heavy Wrecker" book covering the M31/M32, I should have thought to look that way. Thanks for your help Kevin.

A second related question is has anyone read any veteran accounts of ARV crews? In British service were the ARV crew members REME personnel?

Chris.
