Steve:

As a former member of the Sherbrooke Hussars, which perpetuates the Sherbrooke Fusiler Regiment, I am pleased that you have taken such a close interest in its wartime history.

Have you read the Jackson book on the 27th Armoured? It is a red cloth covered hardcover privately published in the early 1960's. Some of your answers may be found there.

FWIW, Sherman tank Bomb is undergoing repaint and minor repairs before it will be relocated to the armouries at 315 William Street in late September. It had been on display in a municipal park where it was vandalized on schedule every 24th of June (the nationalist French-Canadian holiday).
