Tanks shipped to the British forces in the Middle East

Tanks are the common factor in two tables in the Official History. One table gives tanks shipped to the Middle East from the UK in 1942, up until September:

January     60
February   143
March       74
April      264
May        113
June       179
July       114
August     254
September   34

This shows the tanks shipped to the Middle East from North America:

January     102
February    192
March       251
April        73
May          25
June          3
July         33
August      132
September   407

We don't know this, but we can only imagine that many of the 407 in September were M4 Sherman tanks. This information is from Vol.III of the Official History: The Mediterranean and Middle East.
