First Hussars Sherman

[jknaus]

I have been searching for years for some good pics of a First Hussars Sherman. I believe after the landing on D Day they used Sherman III's. They should also have had Fireflies. Later in the war they used Shermans with the HVSS suspension as far as I know. But I cant find pics. I have a Dragon Sherman III and would dearly love to build a 1H tank. So do any of you know of any pics on the net or a book with a good pic? Found lots of the Calgary Regiment tanks and a few Ontars but not the unit I want. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi James

A daft question but have you tried emailing the 1st Hussars. I have found a quick email to the association has usually returned a good results. I have attached a link to their site.

Yes I've tried getting pics from them, and I tried to get my brother to get me something seeing as he is an alumni and still living in London. No avail. Will try again. The firefly pic is cool and I've never seen it before even with all my googling. Thanks

James,

I'm sorry to hear they are not responding. I suppose you could ask the museum direct?

Anyway Bovington Tank museum here in the UK may be another source. They have over 250,000 images on file. If you email the librarian they may have something. The more exact you can be on what you want, the better the result. I have attached a link. I must admit I do go down there two or three times a year for info.
