Sherman Kangaroos

Sherman Kangaroos seem to have been peculiar of the Italian campaign as some 75 Shermans III (M4A2) were converted in nine days at the end of 1944. That mainly occurred in Ancona, in the center of Italy. I have not found any pic as a reference that they were used by the 7th AD or by the 1st Polish AD. Nevertheless, I displayed here a couple of them belonging to the motor battalion of the 4th Independent Brigade pushing forward from the rear area. I converted a couple of Airfix Sherman while in the background we spot a jeep belonging to HQ and mounting a Browning, a Bedford QLR Command Body 2 (Trux), a Reme HQ M3 with Besa (Airfix) and a Standard 12hp utility (MMS)
