HI guys, i was wondering if any of you might be able to help me with something. I was wondering if there were any M3 Lee's in British service in North Africa. I know that they had the grants, but did they have any Lees? Thanks

I've seen a photo that shows two, plus some Shermans operating in the Western Desert around the time of el Alamein. The caption claims they belong to the 8th AB. The picture is in one of the original series of Osprey Vanguards, #6 Lee/Grant tanks in British Service by Bryan Perrett
