Thanks for the tip.

I recieved this back from him:

Inside our Churchills I recall that photographs and/or good luck charms were permitted.

Outside, as far as the North Irish Horse is concerned, we were allowed to mount empty ammo (metal) boxes on the sides. On my tank 'Ballyrashane' was one in which we kept books on loan from our Rover Crew collection.

@Von poop: I didn't know that. A shame it is Mons you say that's like 30 kilometers from my town. Well I certainly will go then if I'm not away on a camp.

thanks for the tip.
