10th Hussars in France 1940

I have been a keen model maker for over 50 years, with an interest in British military history, and have recently started on a project to build a model of the tank my late father-in-law, H E Crodden would have driven as a trooper in B squadron, 10th Hussars in France during May/June 1940. He arrived in France with his unit on May 22nd and was badly wounded on the 10th June, being evacuated from Cherbourg the day before the Germans took the city. My reason for joining War44 is to get (hopefully) some background info. and pictures of the 10th Hussars vehicles. I have been to the Tank Museum at Bovington to see their files, but the 1940 war diary is perhaps undersandably very brief. So I would love to hear from anyone who has any stories or photos to share of the 10th Hussars in France in 1940
