Borden Flakpanzer

[Perry Kitson]

I can certainly understand the problems facing any group trying to save a piece of Canadian history, even if it does involve a former enemy's vehicle. I have been trying to persuade the powers that be to do something with the "Holy Roller" Sherman here in London. A tank that landed on D-Day with a Canadian armoured regiment. After two internal and external examinations and condition reports to the city, nothing has happened. Even the regiment who operated the tank has not been interested in properly preserving it, let alone restoring it. Kudo's to any group that can initiate that process.

If anyone has any history, story's, early photographs or details of this machine the restore group would love to know and research the same.

There must be some ol' timers on here that could share something no matter how trivial.

Thanks for your help and considerations in advance.
