Churchill IV - NA75

The Churchill Infantry Tank was the fourth development of the Infantry Tank concept.  It was exceptionally well-armoured with thick frontal plates. Although it was slow, the Churchill proved agile and capable on the hills and slopes of Tunisia in 1943.

While on campaign in Tunisia a young Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer (R.E.M.E.) officer, Captain Percy Morrell, noted the tank crews of the 21st and 25th Tank Brigades complaints about the poor performance of the 6pdr with HE.
