Cromwell tanks were issued to 7th Armoured Division and the reconnaissance regiments of other armoured divisions. In this role they were superb, heading the six-day dash across Europe which freed Antwerp and Brussels at speeds which prevented the Germans from establishing strong defence lines. Cromwells remained in service for some years after the war and a few served with British forces in Korea.
The Tank Museum’s Cromwell is displayed in the markings of the reconnaissance regiment of the 1st Polish Armoured Division, North West Europe, 1944-45.
