LarryH57 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I'm currently reading the book The Black Bull by Patrick Delaforce about the 11th Armd Div in NW Europe in 1944-45. While the book mentions Sherman and Cromwell tanks, Jeeps, Armoured Cars, Carriers, and Halftracks etc it also mentions the use of TCV vehicles. What was a TCV?

0 LarryH57 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I was wondering if it was possibly reference to a converted Priest SP without the 75mm gun or a Canadian RAM. It sort of gets mentioned in the context of them travelling along with the tanks and I wonder if a 3 tonner might be a bit too vulnerable up the sharp end. Hopefully someone might know if 11th Armd Div used converted Priest or RAMs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard Farrant Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 A TCV was the term used for a Bedford QLT troop carrying vehicle or ‘Trooper’.. photos of the time show these lorries with the tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
