here's another pic, possibly in UK ?, looks like they have added British first army insignia to it !

Love this picture! Proud moment and I'm sure upon inspection when captured, a scary moment too. Hence, the need for the 17 pounder down the road.

Glad you liked the pic, here's a colourised one, my dad was with first army in North Africa.

jwp,
Another great picture! I love the 1st Army Formation Sign painted on the hull. I raise my glass in your Dad's honor!

Joel

I think the triangle insignia is for the 33rd tank brigade, I think my dad may have been in the vicinity of the capture of the tiger with the british 78th division but there seems to a couple of locations claimed for it.

jwp,
Your Dad was certainly in the thick of it. You should be very proud!

The 78th division was at longstop Hill which is close to where one of the locations was claimed to be.
