Default 8 RTR - Egypt 1944

Hi to all -

I recently bought a CD copy of an unidentified Armd Regt in a desert environment. Pics included Valentines & Shermans of a RTR regt.

Closer inspection of the Shermans showd names with 'H' and a unique B Sqn symbology, 'square with dot'.

I guessed H for 8 RTR which I was able to then confirm with a quick glance at Stuart Hamilton's book 'Armoured Odessy'. He had been B Sqn Ldr at that time, with the tank 'HORNBILL'. A pic also had the same sqn symbology.

A few of the pics are attched below...any comments most welcome

Roddy
