The '175' AoS serial, with white bar below, could be any one of a number of units, depending on which Army Tank Brigade the Churchill in the photo is from. I, myself, started by looking at the 21st Army Tank Brigade.
I've been looking at the RTR battalions also, but one it doesn't belong to is the 48th RTR, I have their history and yes, all names start with the letter "T". I'm also looking at the North Irish Horse, but nothing yet.
The 'ASP', could very well be 'initials', as in 'As Soon as Possible', or it could very well turn out to be a 'name'. I will keep looking.
I've seen an image of a Churchill before with "ASP" on it, but just can't, at the moment, remember where I've seen it before.
Cheers

Hi Mark,
I have the name ASP as a Churchill belonging to 51st RTR, T68384 ( Mr Churchill's Tank ) also T172439 probably a replacement tank.
North Irish Horse named all of their tanks after Irish cities, towns and villages. So I would pass on that one.
I would be interested in any names that you may come across for my database. Currently 2900+ names.
Cheers
Kevin
