15 minutes of colour film from 1944, showing 1st Polish Armoured Division on manoeuvre 'somewhere in England'. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item ... 3-9qLW1CE8
Ignore the title, one tank that isn't shown is the Crusader! Lots of detail shots, including the Valentine Bridgelayer in action, and a mobile altar....
More from the IWM Vaults.

Re: More from the IWM Vaults.
Loved the attachment on the rear canvas of the truck (Tilly?) for the crucifix! You could have got best part of an episode of Father Ted out of him, Jack, Dougal and Mrs Doyle setting up something like that.

Re: More from the IWM Vaults.
Interesting, love the fact in the first half they are all in their tankers helmets, moment they are in shermans, berets!
Nice shots of the firefly's too, not something you see that often.
