What model Sherman?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Based on the angle of the rear hull plate, I'd say it's a M4A3E8 Mike Haines

I think the tank name is "Rice's Red Devils". Using a 'super-zoom' on the 'Bigger Photo' you can just barely make out the word 'Red' in the star and I think 'Devil' on the other side. Korean War would be the 'Easy Eight', isn't it? MySherman ID skills are sub-par. Don

There's a nice artwork of a tank from this unit (same tank?) in Dunstan's Armour Of The Korean War: Caption: M4A3(76)W HVSS Shermans, March-April 1951 1: Co. 'C', 89th Tank Bn. _________________ Trevor Dr Trevor Larkum Preserved Tanks: PreservedTanks.com Armour Archive: ArmourArchive.co.uk EVs
