    Anyone got any pictures of Fife & Forfar Crocodiles (or other vehicles) showing the markings?

    Not one with markings but an interesting picture and story of one of their Churchills:

    Thanks Donnie, so they carried just the 79th badge over any other specific regimental markings. Cheers, I can feel a kit coming on.

    Adam,
    Don't forget they never joined 79th Armd Div until 5th Sept 44.
    Up until then they were Army Troops. See note I left off, or go to that link I posted.

    If you look in the post that contained a story of the 1FFY then it says that the A squadron 1FFY tanks painted a RED triangle. so the pic i posted is "A" Squadron.

    Lovely photos Nick.
    That last one would be early War as the Corporal is wearing Service Dress and not BattleDress.
