 79th Armoured Division

Two snapshots showing composition and markings during the NW Europe campaign. 
One timeline detailing changing composition throughout 1944-45.
Arm of Service colours and numbers are correct to the best of my knowledge.

  1. Hi. Lot of useful info here! Do you know what, if any, markings were carried by the vehicles while they were being trailed, before accepted for use, please?
    (I'm making a few whatifs based on the Churchill tank!)?
