The Cromwell IV cruiser tank was issued to the Armoured Reconnaissance Regiments of British an Polish Armoured Divisions. It was fitted with a British 75mm gun and the armour protection was similar to the Sherman but with a higher top speed that befitted its reconnaissance role . The Tanks of the 7th armoured Division however consisted almost entirely of Cromwells with one 17lb Firefly Sherman per troop as support.
