Default Canadian M4A1

Hello there

The only CAC unit that used M4A1 (Sherman II) tanks in action was the Governor Generals Horse Guards, the Arrmoured Recce Regiment of the 5th Armoured Division. Vehicle returns from Italy state they had Sherman I and II on strength.

They still had them when they arrived in NW Europe in 1945.

I'll be going through the GGHG war diary shortly, perhaps it will throw some more light onto the subject

Steve
