Default A lasting memorial

The Sherman Tank
A demilitarized Sherman Tank was brought to Swift Current in 1971 from the Canadian Forces Base in Calgary.* It was put on display outside the former armoury building. Sherman tanks had played an important role in the military life in this area, with four of them being used by the Hussars for training purposes from 1955-1965.* The 31 ton machine was to serve as a lasting memorial of the Second World War, and its use by the 14th Canadian Hussars.* It was officially dedicated to the 8th Recce and 14th Canadian Hussars in a ceremony held on D-day in 1995.
