Corgi CC51015 M4A4 Sherman V Observation Post tank 147th Field Regiment

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

The Army Group Royal Artillery (AGRA) was a late war innovation intended to group artillery regiments under the overall control of army commanders. Typically an AGRA would comprise one field artillery regiment, four medium regiments and one heavy regiment. The Observation Post Sherman was provided for the Troop Commander, probably in a self-propelled field artillery regiment. Outwardly conventional, it was fitted with a wooden gun barrel leaving the turret clear for map boards and other fixtures. The Essex Yeomanry was attached to the 8th Armoured Brigade and carried the FoxGÇÖs Head formation sign on the front of the tank.
