I keep reading articles (including Landships) where it is quoted that E Bn tanks were numbered. From the photos I have, NOT all were numbered when they went into battle, but only had the tank's name on (except one, which has crossed flags painted on its front glacis.).
References also give the tank's names, but don't mention one - "Eileen" - unless I am misreading the name.
Can anyone correct the original article from Landships oherwise we have the same as "Green tanks".
I attach photos to show the lack of numbers. Eclipse II was the tank my great-uncle was killed in.
