Geoff -
I am currently going through all the Canadian Armoured Regiment War Diaries - thanks to the International Landing Scheme that sends me the microfilmed papers. One thing I am picking up is the number of vehs that appeared to have been issued to a regiment in 1943/44 only to be handed in by the same regiment in June/July 1945. The oldest one I have found was issued for the Sicily campaign in 1943 and then handed in to B Sqn, 25 CADR in June 45. Once I have gone through the lot, I will post those I have found...
