As requested by MicS, I have scanned at 600dpi, the highest resolution on my scanner, and applied some filtering to attempt clearer photos of the census number, turret and, possibly, the name "DERIN". I see the census number as T148167 I can't see a name nor reliably see a number or numbers on the turret. Jon

Definitely not No.94 WANDERING WILLIE as I suggested, which was T150569.
See New Sherman Crab? It is clearly Sgt Leishman's Crab, destroyed on 17th April, and the same one as posted by Tolbooth on ww2talk and captioned as Bill Wyatt's tank: Quote:

Seems to have been a lot of Crab wrecks in Holland.

Those are the Crabs wasted at Walcheren Island - see the threads Operation Infatuate II: Sherman tanks at Westkapelle and Tank Wrecks at Westkapelle, Netherlands
