    Hello All

    I am doing some research on the 3CLY then 3/4 CLY for a modeling project and I am in need of some help. I am trying to figure the Troop and Tank numbering of this Regiment and have noticed that they have their troop numbers in their symbol. Which I think is the same color of yellow. or maybe white. But was curious is would all the numbers be 1-4 in the symbol and what do the small numbers in white on the bottom corners of the storage box mean?? Thanks in advance.

    Wow thanks for the link that is awesome, just one question the numbers aren't lining up, the first pic is I belive a LT and Troop leader of Bsq 1 troop am I correct on this and the FFVC is #54, So the #34 would be the FFVC in 2 troop Bsq and #54 would be the Troop leader of Csq 3troop. Or am I wrong, and is there spare tank that would shuffle the numbers?? Once again thanks for the help I appreciate it I just would like to be close to what is correct. Anyone else have any info. I am grateful.

    PS. Side note is the rear turret numbering of the Sherbrooke Fusilers the same or different.
     
  4. Look at the top left corner of the Table linked by Danny, it does say "3 County of London Yeomanry", whereas the photos you posted, doublessly found on the National Army Museum, are clearly captioned "3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry". Here too "the numbers aren't lining up" :), which answers your question.

    Oh, and by the way, please kindly use plain English and not home-cooked acronyms, as it took me a while to realise that your "LT" meant the rank of the tank commander (lieutenant), and not the tank itself, as with your "FFVC", which I take it means Firefly Vc?
