Default Buffaloes carrying SD&H Highrs

Hi Mark:

Thanks for the info about the Scheldt- I have persistent rumours that the SD&H may have been hauled ashore in Normandy in them. I haven't taken the time to read their official history yet but will get around to it at some point!

The reason for the interest is that we (S&P Museum) are sending an Alligator to Cornwall for use as a gate guard. The fact that Alligators were not used will be pointed out in the signage with an explanation of the differences between an Alligator and a Buffalo but they want something closer to what they crossed the Rhine in then the current M113 1/2 Linx that has no connection to their history at all.

Do you have any further info regarding Buffalos and the SD&G? Photos?

As always, thanks for the careful research you do... we all benefit from it!

Mike
