Anyone got Pic of Brit, Polish or Canadian Sherman 1b (105mm)
« on: October 04, 2014, 09:41:53 PM »
Has anyone got pics or info on Brit, Polish or Canadian Sherman 1b's (105mm).

As far as I can see they only served in Italy, although the Poles may have had some in France in 44.

Where there any Kiwi units that used them?

I am tired of turning out US 105's!

thanks in advance.

regards

Bruce

My understanding is that 5 Canadian Armoured Division brought their Sherman 1Bs with them to Holland in 1945.

Armoured Acorn shows a GGHG Sherman 1B named Bristle from May 23 1945 Victory Parade. Part 12.

June 1945 returns list 32 Sherman 105mm in 21st Army Group distributed as below

5 Canadian AD 24
7 AD 1
4 AB 4
8 AB 3

Of course these may not have been with the units in time to see action, none were listed in Dec 44, but I think I may have to paint one up to go with my 8 Armoured Brigade some day.
