First Hussars Memorial (M4A2(76)W Sherman Tank "Holy Roller")
Victoria Park, London
Ontario, Canada
This memorial commemorates the 6th Armoured Regiment "First Hussars". This tank, called Holy Roller by its crew, is the only tank of the regiment to endure the campaign from D-Day to VE-Day in one piece. Holy Roller landed on Juno Beach in the second wave of attacks and took part in battles in France, Belgium, the Netherlands as far as Germany. The tank was fully restored a few years ago and fitted with the historically correct emblems.
