Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This Bridgelayer is based on a Valentine Mark I; being one of the first Valentines it is presumed to have been most likely built by Vickers. It was converted to a bridgelayer by the Southern Railway’s workshops at Eastleigh, Hampshire, in 1944 (source: Museum Vehicle Record). It was put on the museum books in 1949. It has a data plate attached to the left track guard that reads:
INFANTRY TANK MARK III.
