Perry, thanks for that - the first tidbit surely explains the different return roller type was a replacement due to combat damage.

regards,
Jack

This query was for 'Sherbrooke' and 'Regiment' after a few attempts gave nil responses. The MIKAN number is the code I couldn't remember. I hope I was not too misleading or vague. Once you find the terms that work, keep going. However, author Hal Skaarup states the cataloguing is not as complete as we would hope, so persevere and see what turns up.

Not wanting to be pedantic, but the subject tank is not named "Holly Roller", but "Holy Roller", a Sherman III (M4A2) with census number CT 152655.
I visited this Sherman back in 2007 and determined its serial number is 7606 and it was built by the Fisher plant.

HTH,
Hanno
