    The following is a list of British Tank crew memoirs that I've compiled over the last few years. The ones in bold I've read and reviewed, the underlined ones I own and will get to at some point. Anyway, my question is, are there any that I have missed? Sorry about the gaps and things, I've had trouble formatting the page from my Word doc.

    That's quite a list. I'm sure others will chime in, though I can't add to it. Looks like you have some reading ahead of you.
