Saw this on the New Zealanders in the Italian Campaign Facebook page. Great footage, I suspect my own grandfather could have been on this exercise. TANK EXERCISES IN VOLCANIC COUNTRY - NO SOUND | AP Archive
Oh, whoops, I thought that was training in a volcanic area in Italy. Thanks for pointing out my mistake, Tom.
They use them mostly for training but small number is used in the Solomons against Japanese. I don't think that 2nd NZ ever used them in Italy, 4th Brigade used Shermans and Stuarts instead.
