Hi Guys,

I'll post this here as it probably got lost in the blog.

Does anyone know if the Grants stored spare track pads and jerry cans above the rear fenders as per the early Mk II Sherman.

I have a stowage diagram but it's for the later Grant with the extra fuel tank.

Thanks

Al

Hi!
I just had a quick look at the German collection of disabled Grants (shot during the Gazala battles) and spare tracks shoes or jerrycans are absent from these early arrived tanks.
