I recently read that these tanks made it to Arakan. I have to ask what units where they in and what where their models.

Hello.
Some Valentine were used by the 146 Regiment RAC in Burma during the Spring 1943
A link on the units in Burma; http://www.wolftree.freeserve.co.uk/Burma/Burma.html
And from : http://www.wwiivehicles.com/html/united ... ntine.html
3rd New Zealand Division used them in Pacific.1 Some had their 2 pdr. replaced by 3 inch howitzers for close support. Some went to Burma and were used at Arakan.
Patrice.
