Hy All,

Currently I'm working on a Dragon Sherman V in 1:72 scale. The tank is a troop commander vehicle from the Royal Marines Armoured Support Group immediately after D-Day in Normandy. My plan is to put some crew figures in it, but I could'nt find much info about the uniforms of the WWII royal Marine tank crews (uniform, insignia, color of the beret, etc.)
If somebody has more info, PLEASE help!

Thank You in advance
Peter
