M4A2 (76)W HVSS Sherman Tank 78-863
515-527 McGregor St, MB R2W 0Y5, Winnipeg
Manitoba, Canada
This Sherman tank, built by Fisher in 1945, is a memorial to Fort Garry Horse. In 1970, Calgary's Dutch residents gifted Winnipeg a tank to honor the Fort Garry Horse Regiment's role in Holland's liberation in 1944. Placed at Smith Street, Notre Dame Avenue, and King Street as a "permanent memorial," it soon faced vandalism. By September, complaints about militaristic displays led to its relocation for proper respect.
