Hi I am new to this Forum but thought maybe some of you guys would like to see a picture of one of the Armoured D7A Dozers that my late Father operated on Juno Beach on D-Day 6th June 1944.
I am told that just 138 of these Armoured Dozers were converted from standard D7 for use in WW2 by the British & Canadian armies. The USA had their own versions
They were converted by the Jack Olding company of Hertfordshire, UK who at the time was the sole UK distributor for Caterpillar machinery.
Just one is know to survive here in the UK
