Poor terrain limits training. 7 Dec. 42: Brigade excersice boggs down in mud. Training in unditching vehicles would later prove invaluble in NW-Europe. 29 Dec. 42: Regiment moves back to the Hove area. " Could this tank have been used in similar training exercises? Hove has a couple of broad streets that could have been like this in wartime - have to try and find some old pics.........
