Anyone know what Hobart's rank was when he was given command of the 79th? DJ Clayworth 14:29, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

He was a Major-General from '37 and never promoted above that rank, though not due to a lack of talent IMO. Leithp 17:42, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Two dates for Hobart's knighthood in the article. Any idea which is right? DJ Clayworth 20:23, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone help with info into Hobart's early life and his lineage? ( D.Hobart) 20:30, 18 Nov 2005.

The DD Tanks.

The Duplex Drive tanks were American in design which may explain why the US used them and spurned the british tanks.

The Sherman tank was, the DD bit wasn't. GraemeLeggett 15:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
