Tony,
Thank you very much for your reply. I never gave it a thought if the Polish 10th MRR was the only one Allied armoured recce regiment without 17-pounders but on the other hand the regiment had to realize such tasks that it ought to have the tanks with these better guns. The Poles indeed liked much more the Cromwells than Shermans none the less lack of the Firefly tanks seems to be serious weak point of this regiment.
Best regards
C.
