> Go Doug....My tank is a Stuart also....
I think I may have told you before that I used to own an M3A1 Stuart,
swapped it for my Greyhound.
I can never quite figure how people swap the spelling to "Stewart".
Someone once told me that Stuart and Stewart are the Irish and Scotish
spellings or is that the other way around, so perhaps they are
subconsiously following ethnic lines?
Gordon, do you know?
My school history lessons never stretched as far as early US history,
so I am not sure whether the tank names were from the war of
independance (where that strange US preference for cold tea kicked in,
in Boston harbour) or the civil war. Me-thinks Civil War?
Regards
Doug
