Hi All, on 2nd July 1942 6 RTR War Diary (WO169/4509) reported 6 tank losses - 1 Grant and 5 Lee (?). I have 2 questions: - why are there Lee Tanks in the WD? - which are the T. numbers of the losted tanks? Thanks in advance for any help Enzus
Because they were used by the British. Grant and Lee tanks of 'C' Squadron, 4th (Queen's Own) Hussars, 2nd Armoured Brigade, El Alamein position, Egypt, 7 July 1942.
