Hi guys,
I bring back this old tread as I made a another visit today to the regiment museum. I was able to talk with he museum curator about "CATHY", here's what he told me : This Sherman is not a real Firefly..At the time, 4 shermans were brought back from Europe to be use as war trophy and one of them was for the Three Rivers Regiment. He told me that the Sherman had no gun barrel when it arrive. So they had a barrel fitted to the turret. The name "CATHY" is in fact the name of an officer's wife. The Three Rivers Regiment never have a Sherman named "CATHY" in service. This clear up the mystery !
