I have a document somewhere in my office where CMHQ states quite clearly that they intend to retain those Rams with WD numbers of 159402 and higher. This group is what they termed 'operational' tanks. Anything else was to be Struck Off Strength to the War Office or relegated to the CRUs for training.
