Default Sherbroke Fusilier Tanks?

I came across,while searching the web, a photo of Sherman tanks.I had not seen this photo before. I believe they are from the Sherbroke Fusiliers,[#53].Other numbering on front of lead tank which I can not read in full.
I down loaded the pic but I could not get it to open.I'm lousy at the computer.So I will post the address.

The photo was in a private collection , so I thought it might not have been seen before.

I am sorry to disagree with you but the Sherman doses not belong to the Sherbrooke Fusiliers. First there is no white bar under the AoS with the number 53. Second if you look on the opposite side of the transmission housing you can just make out what appears to be the sign of the British Guards Armoured Division. With this it looks like these Shermans belong to the 2nd Armoured Battalion Irish Guards.
