The Sherman was a dramatic improvement on anything the British
had seen so far in the War. The 13th/18th converted from the
Covenanter to the Sherman in 1943 but did not receive the DD
version until D-Day itself.
The man sitting above the driver's position on the first tank is Gordon Beattie (wearing the light coloured battle dress or shirt). |
