Description:
KING & COUNTRY'S British Edition SHERMAN is in the markings of 'A'
Squadron of the 13/18th Royal Hussars (Queen Mary's Own) of the 27th
Armoured Brigade.
This particular Brigade was in direct support of the British 3rd
Infantry Division and landed on SWORD Beach on the morning of 6 June
1944.
All tanks of the 13/18th Hussars carried large two digit identity
numbers on their turrets which were also used as radio call.signs.
After landing on D.Day elements of the 13/18th moved inland to support
paratroopers of the British 6th Airborne fighting off German counter
attacks.
Over the coming days and weeks the Regiment and Brigade was in constant
action in Normandy. Finally on 29 June the 13/18th was pulled out of the
frontline to prepare for 'Operation Charnwood' . Montgomery's assault
on Caen.
This 13/18th Sherman is in typical Normandy campaign colours and
festooned with additional stores and supplies. Three of its crew come
with the model . a driver, gunner and standing tank commander. Its
battle worn appearance denotes it has seen 'more than its fair share of
action'.
The model also comes in its own specially designed box and will be one
of only 500 produced for the UK. 200 will be available through US
dealers
