    Kevin -
    12th RTR had Churchills - along with 145th RAC and 48th RTR in 21st Tank Bde - late in the Italian campaign - they were apparently issued with a few Sherman's as was the 145th - but I never saw them.....all we had was ONE CS MkV 95mm.

    Tom,

    You are quite correct. I should have put 11th RTR. I have changed it now.

    12th Churchills, Larsg, Leander, Lily, Liss, Ludlow, Lydd, Lydia.

    Cheers
