Hi,

And who was responsible for the new tanks deliveries to the frontline armoured Squadrons and Regiments?

Maj.-Gen. George Kitching did not write it in his memoirs ("Mud and Green Fields") but he mentioned an interesting fact in his interview for Professor Reginald H. Roy. Kitching told that in the Falaise Gap there was a moment when his 4th Armoured Division had… only 46 serviceable tanks. Less than one armoured regiment!

How it was possible? Was the RCASC responsible for deliveries of the spare tanks or the other Canadian Army Service?


Best regards

C.
