Quote:
"This Sherman on display at Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada, is Sherman V (M4A4) CT150503, one of four "war trophy" Shermans shipped from Europe to Canada after WW2. Since this photo was taken, this tank has been further restored and relocated elsewhere on the same property.
According to the curator of the Three Rivers Regiment, "when the Sherman arrived in Canada for the regiment, it had no gun barrel . The regimental museum had a barrel fitted to the turret.
The name "CATHY" is in fact the name of an officer's wife. The Three Rivers Regiment never have a Sherman named "CATHY" in service."
