Four M3A1 Stuart II tanks were given to Polish *
Carpathian Lancers Regiment (Pulk Ulanow Karpackich*
- PUK) in Egypt from late August 1942.*
*
In August 1942 the Regiment guarded Delta Barrage*
on the Nile in case of German breakthrough*
at El-Alamein, which did not happen, and the tanks*
did not fight eventually.*
*
Other fighting vehicles of the PUK at that time were*
three captured PzKpfw-IIIJ tanks, and armoured cars*
(15 Marmon-Herrington Mk.II, 2 Rolls-Royce,*
1 Autoblinda AB-41)*
