D-7 Armoured Bulldozer. If you look closely to the left side on the front of the engine compartment, you can see the “landing serial” of this Dozer written in chalk. With this information you can determine the ‘landing craft” and possibly the unit that this Dozer belonged to

Sherman Flail. These vehicles were operated by the 22nd Dragoons, on the Canadian Beaches

Pierre, I searched my Landing Tables info, and this is what I found,

Serial 1136 - LCT(4) 936, was to land on Mike Red at H+135 Hours.

Vehicle markings on D7 Armoured Dozer 35839/1136/LCT - equipment was assigned to Det 59 ME Section (Detachment 59 Mechanical Equipment Section, Royal Engineers

This document shows you the actual LCT assigned to Serial 1136, it was LCT(4) 936

What a beautiful work ! Thanks for the precisions !!
see you soon.

Trying to find out a bit more about the Armoured Dozer in the picture that belonged to British Royal Engineers 59 Mechanical Equipment Platoon.
Never seen this Dozer before in any other pictures.

Would anyone know if there are other pictures of this same machine?
Also. Is this a Canadian library picture & is there a "Date taken" for this picture?
