Yes, good suggestion.

As can be seen the carrier has Polish flag and female Polish name "Baœka". The Polish armoured trains had a series of the Universal Carries codenamed with the Polish female names as for example:

T63116 – "Jaga" (Armoured Train "G")

T63122 – "Hanka" (Armoured Train "G")

Next week I will try to check the "Baœka" and where was it come from.

The tankers in Valentine look Polish in fact (black beret with silver eagle) but I am unable to recognize the unit in a hundred percent. White badge (or a part of it) looks at this tank similarly to horse head, but maybe I am wrong. White horse head was a badge of 1. Pu³k U³anów Krechowieckich, or the 1st Krechowiecki Ulans Regiment.

But my Polish colleagues, good spotters, observe this forum so maybe they will help.


Best regards
