Have checked through the National Army Museum collection of 3rd / 4th County London Yeomanry photos I came across a couple of possible names. 3rd and 3rd / 4th CLY do not seem to have a fixed name location point they can be on either left or right upper or lower front of the turret. I have even found a B Sqn name which is after the sqn symbol at the rear of the turret. With the majority of tank photos being front on often makes identification difficult. County London Yeomanry seem to use an unusual range of name subjects. Any thoughts or comments appreciated. Photo 104351 ref NAM.1975-03-63-14-136 is I think AMARYLLIS - 3rd CLY Photo 105535 ref NAM.1975-03-63-20-181 is I think BAHAMUT - 3rd / 4th CLY Cheers Kevin
'The CO's tank', 1945 | Online Collection | National Army Museum, London Has... 'The CO's tank', 1945 Photograph by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North West Europe, 1945. This Sherman tank belonged to Lieutenant-Colonel WAC Anderson DSO who was in command of the regiment when the war ended. 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry ended the conflict near Hamburg having fought its way across Germany with 7th Armoured Division. From an album containing 198 photographs and captions compiled by Major W H J Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters). NAM Accession Number NAM. 1975-03-63-22-188 Edit: This was a 24th L reference... I had wondered if WAC Anderson might have "kept" a prior 24th L tank name...
Its worth reminding people of this by yourself New Resource - WW2 Tank and Vehicle Names V5 Excellent work
All the original Sale negatives are now back with The Sharpshooters.. Dan Taylor is/was sorting through them to try and get an index. It appears the NAM kept their copies the Sale 3 CLY photos Home Page - The Sharpshooters
A variety of pictures here too... 4th Armoured Brigade - Artefacts and Pictures Page for Italy and Northern Europe Including e.g. &
There's a section on "tanks" here that can be browsed... ViewStory - The Sharpshooters A number of pics there with markings and names etc.
Neilisju, Best to keep to one thread, having two requests on different threads can duplicate and confuse. The other thread is best, as you have added more information there: 3/4th County of London Yeomanry: Sgt Troke, 4 Troop, C Squadron
