Some Shermies
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.

Post subject: Some Shermies

Hello again,

Here are some Shermans from around Ft. Lewis, each a bit unique.

#1 is in apparently good shape and pretty complete. A mostly complete radial engine visible through partially open access doors. The fairly complete interior that I photographed by the "reach in" technique through an open port in the turret.



#2 is in less good shape without an engine that I can see. I got interior photos through the missing bow gun and the open loader's hatch.



#3 is in the post museum. It has "the comb" on the glacis. The museum IDs it as an M4A1.



No S/Ns visible on any of them. Would the casting number on the turret side mean anything?

Any help from the Shermie fans in getting definitive model numbers would be appreciated.

C

I believe, according to some pic on Chris Hughes' site, the last one is an M4A1E9.

Top one is an M4A1(W)76; second one is an M4A1E8, bottom one could be a Ram.

Hi Folks!

I have to agree with Neil on that 3rd Sherman. Duck bills on both side of the VVSS 3 bar cleat type track block makes that vehicle an 'E9'.

It looks like the E9 has received a new coat of paint during the past 11 years. Kurt Laughlin had given me some serial number info on the E9 awhile back but of course, I can't find the info.

I remember seeing the M4A1(76)HVSS back in '95 while up there for my two week AT. At that time, it was parked in front of some armor unit's hq, next to I believe the other M4A1(76) or a M4A3(76). To me, the HVSS Sherman really stood out because of the non-standard commander's cupola. IIRC, at that time, both of the Shermans were painted in the dark o.d. like you see on many tanks at Knox.
