My apologies, especially to those with dial-up, regarding the number of pictures.

I've zoomed in the various shots I had of the M1A1 Abrams, and the only imprinted numbers I could find (with 300kb resolution photos), are the numbers 545, which are located on the front plate above the stencilled 3I 1-64 numbers. Seems too short to be a serial number though.

Have someone photos of 3 BTR-60 from Fort Stewart?

In the NG area is a M4A1 Sherman:

Thanks for the info. The barrel on that M4A1 is a bit odd - its been discussed before that it could be a postwar 76mm gun retrofit/rebuild?

Neil,
It is simply a tube. From what I was told, the turret is frozen at the angle and had to be cut off to fit on the low-boy. A metal tube was added later.
Thanks for fixing the photos!

Thanks again Dan - can you tell us more exactly where the "National Guard Area" is?

BTW, the M4A3 has now been moved to the new National Infantry Museum.

Neil,
I really couldn't explain as I haven't been there in many years-the tank was in a NG training area by what I believe was by a NG armory?
