	Introduction
		Some glaring faults however such as the suggestion that earlier models of the MkIV carried the QF 6-pdr MkV as identified by the counter-weight- also attributing the 25th Army Tank Brigades Diablo (Black on red/yelllow shield) to the 21 Army Tank Brigade (there is a lot of confusion over these diablos).
		Strangely, Perrett continues to inists that it is 'generally accepted' that a Churchill MkII is one armed with a 3" howitzer in the turret and a 2-pdr in the hull - this is simply not the case.
		There are many personal stories from Churchill crew members related within the text to accompany the official unit history material.
