Trying to identify a list of names used by the Calgary regiment, especially Churchills.
Although mainly trying to confirm if the name "Asp" was used.
Only reference is a slightly blurred photo with WD T32417 and a chalked "Asp" on the side.
Anybody help?
Mark, any thoughts?

Hi Kevin;

The Churchill in the photos under the title 'A NASTY MESS' on the website you linked to does not belong to the Calgary Regiment. If you look at the AoS plate, there is the white 2" inch Army Troops bar below. I think the Churchill in the photo belongs to a regiment of one of the British Army's Churchill equipped 'Army Tank Brigades' who in 1942-1943 used the AoS serial block 173 to 176 with the 2" inch white bar below denoting 'Army Troops'.

Cheers
