Jack Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Saw these today and thought of you Bernard and Andy! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_g_kearney Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think the photos will appeal to more than just Bernard and Andy. I like them a lot too... Presumably the Sherman has suffered internal damage as well as to the tracks if the turret cannot be rotated. Is the rag on the end of the gun barrel red, I wonder? John.

gritineye Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Interesting pix jack, can anyone say where and when? Tried enhancing about with the first pic, can't make out any markings except the star. Edited October 19, 2012 by gritineye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Post war I reckon, thought it may be 11th armoured but the insignia doesnt appear to be a wartime marking. Or indeed a marking of the 11th?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The Sherman markings look like 7th Armoured Div, 2nd Field Regt Royal Artillery, from the signs on left side of the photo and the XI sign denotes 2nd Battery from its background. Looks like a training exercise. Note the early CMP following the Scammell in first photo. The BSA has REME Armoured Brigade Workshop marking.
