It had been converted from a gun tank to an AVRE, and had applique armour fitted not only to the hull, but also to the turret front and sides. It was rescued from a range in relatively poor condition. The aim of the restoration is to return the tank to a Churchill Tank Mk III* with a 75mm gun. The Applique armour will be retained, albeit with the AVRE fittings removed (source : http://www.churchilltank.com/Home_Page/MK_III.html). As of Jan. 2014, the owner has found that the tank was T31831, which was part of a contract placed in late 1940 with Birmingham Railway Carriage Company.

This was the serious breakdown of a tank, and it is believed that due to the impending Dieppe raid and the gradual re-supply with Mark IIIs, this 'dead-head' was deemed as unsuitable for repair and withdrawn from service. It was then handed over to the infantry units of the 2nd Canadian Army Division and taken by them to the infantry training grounds above Storrington. Here the tank was used as a range target being fired upon by PIAT anti-tank weapons, amongst others, and when the troops pulled out after the war, was left sitting on the Downs. After the war, a member of the range clearing teams, who now lives in Storrington, remembers that to remove the tank it was simply rolled over into a bomb crater and buried. On 20 November 1993, the tank was recovered by the R.E.M.E. having been unearthed over the previous years by a number of hardy enthusiasts. Once rolled out of its grave it was placed on the edge of the field where it remains to this day." (Glen Carter).
