War Relics of India

[Neil Ashley]

Having had the opportunity to check further, 'Tankette' magazine number 25/5 claims that the last British use of Fox Armoured Cars were those of the 7th Royal Tank Regiment based in Lahore during the partition crisis of 1947.

I have seen several pictures of Indian Recce Regiments in Italy using MkIV Humbers but the Foxes remain elusive.

I note that Dafadar (Sgt.) Badan Singh of the 16th Indian Light Cavalry Regiment was awarded a Military Medal in Burma for knocking out a Japanese Chi-Ha Tank with his Humber MKIV Armoured Car.
