Considered too lightly armored by many, the agile Cromwell was the fastest
British tank of WWII. In 1943 the A27M model with the Meteor engine entered
service and became part of the 22nd Armoured Brigade arsenal. In 1944–45 the
Cromwell became the most numerous British tank and in many units replaced
the Sherman. There were 341 Cromwell Mk. VI’s produced and these were
armed with a 95mm Howitzer and used for close support. These tanks along
with others saw heavy action in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
