Gents,

Despite having read through 1/War Trophy/1 numerous times, I have only just noticed a significant discrepancy regarding "Cathy".

The documents state that CT150503 was a 22 CAR (Canadian Grenadier Guards) tank, not a 12 CAR (Three Rivers Regiment) tank.

Can anyone find close-up images of the plaque in front of "Cathy" to read the full inscription?

I also found this: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remem...s/details/7102

Has the actual regiment that operated this tank been forgotten through the passage of time?

I will also note that the service history of "FORCEFUL" was forgotten for a number of years (late 1940s to 1980s) when it was in Borden prior to heading back to GGFG (displayed at Cartier Square Drill Hall, then CWM).

It seems that some additional research is required.
