Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This Centaur Dozer was converted from a Mark IV tank, one of 80 Centaurs fitted with the 95mm Close Support Howitzer. It served with the British Army until 7th August 1963 and was sold to Pounds Shipowners and Shipbreakers Ltd at The Old Chemical Works, Portsmouth, in January 1968. It was acquired from there and restored for the museum; another one went to the private Budge Collection at the same time. It was put on the museum books in 1985. It is displayed in the markings of the 79th Armoured Division, Northwest Europe, 1944/45.
