| Hi John,
Churchills of my regiment the North Irish supported units of the Battle Axe Division many times - in Tunisia, particularly during the battles for the Oued Zarga Mountains and Longstop Hill, and in Italy. Not up the Liri Valley though, at that time we and our fellow units of 25th Tank Brigade supported the Canadians breaking the Hitler Line and the subsequent drive north.
25th TB being independent (as were the other Tank Brigades), additional to the Canadians, supported British, New Zealand, Indian, Jewish, and Italian units (also Commandos and Paratroops) as and when needed - even once in Africa the Americans.
Cheers, Gerry |
