Corgi 1/50 Cruiser Tank A34 Comet Mk1 C Sqn 23rd Hussars 29th Armoured Brigade 11th Armoured Division (CC60605)
The 23rd Hussars was one of six regular cavalry regiments reformed for the duration of the war. As the senior regiment in the 29th Armoured Brigade, it carried the number 51 on the red ‘arm of service’ square and displayed red squadron symbols. Prior to 1945 the 23rd Hussars had been primarily a Sherman equipped unit but in January of that year, as Germany was entered , they traded them in for Comet Mk.1’s, a batch of 95mm gunned Cromwell Tanks for close support work and turretless Honey tanks for reconnaissance purposes. The Hussars had originally handed in the Shermans in December but the German's Ardennes offensive forced them to take them back as the Comets had not arrived in time.
