The AoS 175 belongs to the Calgary Regiment (14CAR) of 1 Cdn Army Tank Brigade. They only had the Ram tanks for a few weeks in the spring of 1943. 1 Cdn Army Tk Bde was equipped with Churchill tanks up until March 1943 when they were replaced by Ram tanks. In April 1943 it was decided to send 1 Cdn Army Tk Bde along with 1 Cdn Inf Div, to Sicily for Operation "HUSKY". Soon after this decision was made the Rams were replaced by Sherman tanks.
