Yes Owen - I know as I have slight correction to PeterG's web - not being the senior regiment in the 21st Tank Bde - 12RTR was - they had the number of the Ontario Tanks 11th regt 173- and the 48th RTR had the Calgary Tanks - 14th Regt.- number 175 - owing to the fact that we were the junior regt - and an Infantry Territorial unit of the 8th Duke of Wellington's - we were disbanded at Cesena in the dec/ Jan '44/45 and were replaced by the North Irish Horse - 142nd RAC also had the chop which left 51st RTR in 25th Tank bde which then became an Armoured Engineer bde with crocodiles and all sorts of funnies.....
