This is a model of A34 Comet tank serial number T335042 displaying the 'Black Bull' insignia of Eleventh Armoured Division and also the marks 'Cobra' and 'Therese'. These details were probably taken from an official British War Office photograph of this particular tank taken in late March 1945 at Wesel, next to the Rhine River, Germany. This photograph is accessible among the many images of the Comet tank on the web. T335042 was with the Third Battalion Royal Tank Regiment (3RTR), part of Eleventh Armoured Division. The tank commander in the photograph is Captain Freddy Munro Dingwall, 2 I/C 'B' Squadron 3RTR. Also shown is Lieutenant Campbell Crockett, intelligence officer 3RTR, in a Humber scout car.
