This Sherman is fitted with fake coaxial and hull machine-guns, and since the first edition a low hedge has been grown around the ramp on which it is mounted. It is fitted with ‘duckbill’ extended-end connectors on both tracks.
A plaque on the ramp states:
OFFERT EN L’HONNEUR DES SACRIFICES PASSÉS
QUI ONT REDONNÉ ESPOIR EN L’AVENIR
M4A1 SHERMAN TANK
GIVEN TO HONOR THE SACRIFICES OF THE PAST
THAT HAVE PROVIDED HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
PRESENTED BY H.Q. VII CORPS US. ARMY |
