I went to the end of the last URL, and pecked backwards. Messages on file make specific mention of "Marion", which I recognize as a Kangaroo name used on the Canadian War Museum's rebuild, was not to return to Canada.
So far I've seen well known names including "Forceful", "Bomb", and "Holy Roller". Other tanks are mentioned by census number, including a Stuart to the Lincoln and Welland, and a few which apparently survived from England to Holland. Whether these were DDay tanks like Bomb is to be researched. I just have to determine when those units arrived in Normandy.
