Can anybody shed some light on this please?

For the next 10 days and under Command of Capt P S Berry of the 7th Royal Tank Regiment the men learnt to drive and maintain these amphibious personnel carriers. All this training was completed at Westward Ho under the watchful eye of their instructor Capt R Butler MC RASC. Capt Butler had served with the 11th Royal Tank Regiment on these vehicles during the Rhine crossing and Walcheren in World War Two. Although totally different than that of driving a Centurion tank the men became quite proficient but not without the initial accident or two occurring. Cpl Saggerson and Sgt Roberts managed on the last of their 10 days training to ram the Appledore lifeboat. The very next day they were at the airport emplaning for a flight to Malta so never felt the repercussions of the incident.
