    These seem to be few and far between but I'd heard of a few and started searching around this afternoon and this is what I've found so far through online searches. Some of these are self published.
    • Steel My Soldiers' Hearts, Neil J Stewart
    • Tales of a tankman: between the battles, Neil J Stewart
    • 3 Troop: a fighting unit of a Canadian tank squadron in wartime Italy and Holland, where fear of failure was finally overcome, C Malcolm Sullivan
    • In Chariots of Iron, Ray Lane
    • Bash on Recce!, Lorne E Stephen
    • Memoirs of a WWII Armoured Officer, Hunter Dunn
    • To the Green Fields Beyond: A Soldier's Story, Gwilym Jones
    • Peewees on Parade, Galipeau, John A. and Pattie Whitehouse

    Does anyone know of any others?

    Bash on Recce was the self published memoir written by Lorne Stephen. I had the opportunity to meet Lorne at one of the reunions conducted by the Royal Canadian Hussars association. Dr. Stephen served with the 17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars.

    So, interesting thing: Bash On Recce is very hard to find, but it does pop up on abebooks every so often. For large amounts of money. :( Currently $183 US.

    Of more general interest - if there is a book you are looking for which doesn't show up on abebooks, you can set a "watch" so that if the book comes up for sale, the site will send you an email.
