Hello everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find decent photographs of the Churchill Tanks used by the 3rd Battalion Scots Guards?
Any links etc would be grateful.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Gents,
My partners grandad was with the 3rd Battalion Scots in Normandy.
He was killed at Hill 239 Les Loges on 30 July 1944, after being in France for just 10 days.

We only have one photo of him, (see the post in Searching for someone).
Just need to find out what job he had on Churchills, really hoping our request to the Scots Guards Association gets something.

Best Regards

Mark
