The only ones I have online so far are in France, so you probably know them better than me:

Sherman Dozers

I could also put online photographs of ones at Latrun and the Cairo Citadel if that would be useful.

this one is the Dozer which is with the VMH association at Avrillé.

I was told 15 minutes ago that the VMH association is waiting for 2 years that the army gets it back. It is to be displayed as a monument at the new Engineers Museum, which moved from Avrillé to Angers few years ago.
Seems that this Sherman is not a priority..

I knew my post on the Sherman Dozer in Solbiate Olona was going to trigger some interesting discussions; but this is more than I expected! Keep up the great work Wink

When we go ahead with our Saumur update, I'll make sure this is corrected.

Nice picture P-O

the US 2nd armoured division, rolling down the street

to get back to the register
An lot of Sherman have been, or maybe still are, in service with South Amercian country's, like Brasil

Shouldn't there be some Sherman Dozer tanks there Confused

Je ne parle pas du tout portuguais ou espagnol...

Ich spreche gar nicht Spanisch oder Portugiesisch...

My Portugese or Spanish is as good as yours Wink

However youre French is better the mine, that's for sure Mr. Green

Mit Deutsch gehen wir gleich auf
Vielleicht sollten wie im Deutsch weiter machen, ist gut für die Übung
Vielleicht verärgern wir auch unsere Englische Leser damit Laughing

(With German are we equal
Perhaps we should go on in German, is an good excercise)

To get back to the Sherman Dozer
I have been searching an little with google Portugal and with google Spain (it is still called an M4 Sherman Mr. Green

) and so far didn't find any Rolling Eyes
