WW2 database of tank, carrier and vehicle names used by various regiments
Over the years myself and Dick Taylor have been compiling a WW 2 database of tank, carrier and vehicle names used by various regiments. The database has around 5400 names, these come from basically any vehicle that would have come from British / Commonwealth stocks and include British, Canadian, Czech, Dutch and Polish names.
The problem is that the WW 2 database is a 5.47mb pdf file. Is this too large to post here, if not where would be the best place to post it. We also have Pre WW 2 names at 1.06mb and Post at 1mb, although these 2 are nearly all British named vehicles. Any thoughts. Cheers Kevin |

file sharing
Hello Kevin,
I would be happy to share them on here on your behalf using the MLU google drive. I've used it in the past for sharing large documents and large numbers of photos - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...361#post259361 for example. This way I am not putting too large a load on the mapleleafup.net database in an effort to keep costs down.

I have tried with the help of Hanno to get these files uploaded so that they can be used by Maple Leaf Up members, but so far without success. The WWII file is 5mb alone and contains over 5400 entries. However the WWI, WWII and Post War pdf files have been uploaded to the following sites and can be downloaded:- HMVF. On tabs Other Stuff in the Research Centre https://hmvf.co.uk/forum/44-research-centre/ World War 2 Talk. New Resources tab http://www.ww2talk.com/index.php If you can add anything or see any errors please let me know. regards Kevin |

Hi Adrian,
Thank you also for these. Can you translate the header over the numbers at all? The top line are all Stuarts, the middle block are all Sherman V's and the bottom line are Sherman Vc's ( Firefly ). All of this is helpful especially as we now know which regiment they belonged to. Cheers Kevin |
