    Not an official source but.....

    According to information on the Ranmore War Memorial website another Covenanter tank was discovered at the Denbies site in the 1970s after its burial site was identified by a former gamekeeper of the land. The two tanks were used for training purposes by the Canadian army, based at Headley Court near Leatherhead between 1940 and 1944. The tanks were only used for training purposes, as by 1943 they were considered too poorly armoured to deal with the new German tanks. They were then buried when the Canadians left in 1944.
    A WW2 tank was dug up in Dorking and Suggs from Madness helped
