Sherman MkIII 4de & 7de Royal Dragoon Guards Frankrijk 1944

Our model is as deployed with the 4^th/7^th Royal Dragoon Guards, which had been formed as early as 1922 as a Cavalry Regiment in India, returning to the UK at the end of the decade. Its World War II deployment commenced in 1939, serving with various Armoured Divisions, including being under the command of the 8^th Armoured Brigade. It was during this time that the Guards, using Sherman MkIII tanks, took part in the D-Day Landings on 6^th June 1944. The Brigade had many notable achievements following D-Day and was the first armoured unit to cross the Seine, ultimately being deployed in Germany itself.
