    Hi
    I am aware that the 6th Armored Division in detail at the time of its departure for Tunisia had the following tanks:
    65 Crusader tanks of 2 pdr
    67 Crusader tanks of 6 pdr (including 3 ā€¯tanks)
    129 Valentine tanks
    4 AA Mk VI tanks
    60 armored car
    155 Scout Car
    I also know that starting from the end of November 1942 the squadrons of the 6th Armored Division began, in rotation, to withdraw from the front line to re-equip themselves with Sherman, completing completely the cycle in March of the following year and changing to that date also regimental organic schemes with 5 "troops" of 3 Sherman tanks each each squadron for a total of 61 Sherman (III) tanks per regiment.
    Is there anyone among you who can give me the monthly consistency of the division's tanks or its losses at some time during your stay in Tunisia
    Many thanks in advance
    Maurizio
