Hi everyone.
I have been brousing your forum off and on for sometime now.I must say it is very informative.
I have been searching the web for photo's and such of Canadian armour in WW2,especially for photo's of the Fort Garry Horse.My father was a trooper with the Garry's.I found a photo,I believe,of him in the Liberation of Holland,[Haren] on top of a Firefly.
It was of great interest that I read of the tank named 'Carole".My father had the name 'Carole" on his tank.It was named after Carole Lombard,the actress.I had a photo of it,but all photo's were distroyed in a house fire.My youngest sister is named "Carole",after his tank.Could this be the same tank in your photo's?Or were there more than one tank with this name?
My father passed away in 1968 but told me a few stories of the war.One was how the smaller gun shells would bounce off the German tanks and how glad he was when he got a 'larger gun'.
Any answers to my post will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou in advance.
Wayne
