Churchill Mk III With Deep Wading Kit Dieppe 1942

The Churchill first appeared on the beaches of Dieppe in August 1942 and despite going on to be a much used and much converted vehicle, the Mk I suffered from some problems not least of which was its weight and slow speed. The Mk III was improved version with the Mk I 2 pounder replaced by the British 6 pounder gun. The Mk III first appeared in March 1942 and early vehicles retained the original air intakes and lacked track covers.
