GGHG M5A1 late photo

[Dan Martel]

I don't think the document in your opening post has anything to do with the GGHG. It shows the u/m tanks being transferred from a Canadian delivery squadron to a British one. The only mention of the GGHG was to explain from where these tanks originated, and the dates on the disposal list show that it was after the regiment had already disposed of its A vehicles.

I am somewhat intrigued by the disposal date list showing RAP carriers and if it was supposed to refer to universal carriers. The war establishment for an armoured regiment at this point didn't include universal carriers, unless RAP carrier was meant to refer to another type of vehicle. However there's always a chance they were u/c's and obtained unofficially.

Part of the joy of research.

Thank you for sharing my research dealing with the return of Canadian M5A1 Stuarts . The connection to the Canadian 3rd Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The Governor General's Horse Guards) is right on the return paperwork along the line Issued By , you can see the Regiments name in brackets ( EX-3 CARR ).

The shared information came from a private FB page, Canadian Military Modellers Association which has a very large collection of material dealing with Canadian vehicles and was posted by myself in an Album dealing with Canadian M5A1 Stuart Tanks , photos ,tech material, and post war Regimental vehicle returns , which listed the Stuart Tanks census numbers upon return.

Hello Anthony, thanks kindly for explaining the connection to the document. I had noticed the (EX-3 CARR) but it had not clicked in my brain to what exactly that abbreviation stood for, but certainly do now.
