Great to see footage of it in action! According to the description: "British 51st Highland Division infantry (XXX Corps) move past a knocked-out Sherman Firefly tank on the outskirts of Goch."

Hanno, what a coincidence!!!; so, it's the very same vehicle; excellent. One curious thing is that the census number shows a different font and location, so presumably the vehicle was repainted after the pics in the UK were taken (?).
I do wonder if the description of the IWM fully covers what we see in video, as I tend to think that at least the CGT Compressor, and maybe also the jeep, is still in Canadian service....Is that a Canadian maple leaf Formation sign in the low right corner?
