Hi Brummbar,

All the tanks belonged to the Canadian 14th Tank Battalion (Calgary Tanks). ‘Bert’ (Churchill Mk. III ID number T68560R of B Squadron, 6 Troop) was one of the fifteen tanks that managed to exit the beach and enter the promenade, during the insuing firefight it had his left track broken by enemy shellfire and was abandoned by the crew. Cheers
