Brit Shermans in winter dress?

[wally7506]

I see that the Akura/Tasca Sherman Hybrid Ic comes with markings for one with a winter coat on (whitewash).

Specifically 2nd Armoured Battalion, Irish Guards Rgmt, Guards Armoured Div.

Can anyne point me toward a picture of this tank?

Or any like it?

Cheers

There's a photo of a British Sherman of an unidentified unit on page 90 in Vol 2 of Warpaint by Dick Taylor. The hull and turret have been whitewashed but not the running gear/suspension. Unfortunately I haven't got the means to scan the page, but hopefully someone else here may be able to oblige. The photo has the reference IWM B13788 and googling the reference brings it up.

Hope this is of use

There's a couple of pictures of Shermans with white distemper on them in January 1945 in the book 'British Sherman Tanks' Concord 7062.

They are all IWM photos= refs:
