Description

Official designation:- Tank Infantry Mk IV. Actual identity unknown, although it is a MkII modified to represent a MkI. Painted as ‘T68557R’ “BOB”, which was a ‘Beach Track Laying Device’ Churchill III used in Operation Jubilee, the Allied attack on Dieppe in August 1942. Official report of “BOB” during the operation reads as follows:- “Carried in Tank Landing Craft 6 (No. 163), No. 6 Troop “B” Squadron, the Troop Leader’s tank, commanded by Lieutenant J.H. Dunlop, removed its beach track laying device prior to landing, also because of damage. It landed and successfully crossed the seawall near the Casino, where it engaged enemy targets with the 6 pounder main armament until eventually returning to the beach, where it took up a position on the water’s edge to cover the withdrawal of the infantry” On display at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, UK.
