    When the unit shipped off to Italy, did they bring along their Churchills from Tunisia, or were there new vehicles already waiting for them on the Italian mainland?

    The Warpaint series book Vol.4, has the unit mobilization serial listed for 51st RTR as 22164 - obviously different from 36633. Wonder why the difference, vehicles acquired from another unit, they were assigned a new number, or.....
