Picture Of The Week - No 46 - Shermans


-
Comment:  This weeks picture shows a couple of WW2 British Shermans.  The one on the left being a Firefly, the one of the right being armed with a 105mm.  Main points of interest in the picture are:
a)   Track extenders fitted to assist with mobility over soft ground, and
b)   All the extra track hanging off the vehicles for extra protection.

c) They are parked next to a no Parking sign - hope they don't get a ticket!

Great picture. Do you know what unit they are from?
I understand Guards units used to smother their Churchill tanks with spare treads also.

Hi Paul
I'm afraid I don't know the unit.
Yes, I've seen some pics of Churchills covered as well :)
