[wim sikkelbein]

thanks for the info ronald

[Eric R.]

I know I am resurrecting an old thread but I am doing some research for a modelling project involving FGH Shermans and I am looking for some period photos of the Sherman Ic or Vc tanks used by them. I have found a few photos of shermans identified to the FGH but not many which I can tell if they are Vc or Ic tanks. Do any of you fellas have any photos of those types they would be willing to share either here or if you prefer via email?

Thanks!

Hi Eric


Why not try a troll through Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and their "Faces of War" database.

Searching "Sherman" and "Garry Horse" yields some results that may help you. Click the left number and then click the photo for a larger version.

Thanks for the lead Darrell. I tried the search function with both sherman and garry horse and got nothing. Not sure why it won't work for me. Only garry horse returned any results.

Those results bring up one or two that I haven't seen before. I wish I could find more side and front photos with detail. Most out there are views from the rear or far off photos without much detail!

I was especially interested to see if there more photos of the applied make shift wooden pickets used as AT protection.

Hi Eric

Not sure why it didn't work for you. "Sherman" brings up 4 pages of photos.

There is the Regimental Museum and Archive:

with some contact info. Gord Crossley is very knowledgeable and may be able to assist you.
