    Hi everyone As a new forum member please forgive me if I get anything wrong as I find me feet. After 35 years I’m returning to a hobby I loved as a teenager and I am after some help or pointers in the right direction. Second ask for forgiveness, I’m not a historian! I’m after help with two questions, one modelling related and one more about British military history. My late grandfather drove tank transporters in the British army in WW2. I have some mementos he passed down to me and I am keen to create a memory to him in the form of some models. The pictures attached are a picture of him loading a Sherman, my best guess somewhere in Holland.. The other is a picture of the order of service from the thanksgiving service held at the end of the campaign. First the easiest question. Is someone able to help me identify the variant of Sherman being loaded, and which 1/35 scale kit (+ detailing if necessary) would be best to replicate it please? I am not worried about interior detail. I know from other pics that drove the soft cab version of the M19 transporter. I have the applicable I love Kit model, although I am planning to relearn my skills on a few less complex kits before I take that one on! Second the history question. I don’t know what regiment he served with, but obviously it would have been one listed in the British second army order of service. When he was alive my grandad proudly told me his unit drove the first tank transporters over the bridge at Nimejan. Would tank transporter units have been their own regiment or would they have been attached within one of the tank or armoured formations? And would I be able to find out which tank transporter units came through Nimejan first? Any other useful info people can offer is gratefully received and thanks in advance if you can help. Finally, sorry again if I have got anything wrong or broken any protocols in this, my first post! here are the pics https://drive.google.com/file/d/102aOfkHFJYou2ynuAMTrwVthKmdGodqz/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bBiK2sizGnfo2AiklTaWxMJ6h1MykkDc/view?usp=drivesdk
