Sorry, the Sherman M4A1E9 at
Woensdrecht is an ex-Royal Netherlands Army tank, supplied by the USA in the 1950s under the MDAP. In 1978 it was dragged from a nearby training ground and was restored as a war memorial.
In 2000 I helped local volunteer Ferry Stam to identify the markings for a Sherman II of B Sqn Fort Garry Horse, and it was subsequently repainted as such. So it is not a real Fort Garry Horse Sherman (like the one in
Doetinchem).
