This Ram Mark II was one of a small batch acquired by the Dutch Army in 1946. It was rearmed with the QF 75mm Mark 5 gun. It was later used as a mobile target for light weapons, which is why every possible opening has been sealed or welded over. The tank was originally acquired in the Netherlands by the Sherwood Rangers Association for display in Nijmegen, and 17th/21st Lancers had undertaken to restore it for display on a plinth. It had previously been on display as a gate guardian at the Dutch Army tank workshop at Leusden (source: ShermanTank.nl). A Sherman, however, was felt to be more suitable, so the Tank Museum acquired a plinthed M4A1 of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards from the School of Infantry at Warminster and it was shipped to 17th/21st Lancers. The Ram was shipped to Marchwood from Antwerp on RFA Sir Lancelot. It was put on the museum books in 1988. It is characteristic of those produced between registration CT159402 and 159502. It has the auxiliary machine-gun turret, no side doors or ventilation louvres in the hull sides and the turret pistol ports have been replaced with circular plates. It has Sherman-type T54E1 track links and Sherman suspension with trailing return rollers. The aerial mounts are in depressions on the turret roof, not mounted on brackets as in earlier tanks.
