Seeing as how British armored units composed the main thrust in Operation Market Garden, you're probably right. edit: According to Wikipedia, Sextons were built off the hulls of Grizzly tanks (Canadian version of the M4A1 Sherman) by Montreal Locomotive Works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexton_(artillery) -- Last edit: 2007-07-21 01:30:55
