Looking for any period photo of M4A1 Grizzlys
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I did a search for 'Grizzly tank' at the Library and Archives of Canada expecting loads of hits, but got none. That seems very odd. Yet it works for Sherman: collectionscanada.gc.c...mediaType= _________________ Trevor Dr Trevor Larkum Preserved Tanks: PreservedTanks.com Armour Archive: ArmourArchive.co.uk EVs

thanks Trevor for your help. I was not able to find a single photo showing a crew training on a Grizzly, it's quite surprising !!
All of the results show RAM tanks, Sextons, regular M4 Shermans (mostly M4A4s) and a fewx Grizzlies on the production lines, but none on training grounds !!

Pierre-Olivier I have some photos of them. During the war and post war they were used as training Tanks, a few had their turret removed to act as APC's. Anthony Canadian Leopard Series DVD Project
