Valentine Tank
This British designed, Canadian-Manufactured tank was used by the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
The Canadian Pacific Railway's Angus Shops in Montreal made 1,420 Valentines, all but 30 of which Canada shipped to the Soviet army. During a Soviet offensive in Ukraine in January 1944, this one broke though the ice covering a swampy river. All three crew members escaped, but the tank sunk out fo sight. Forty-six years later, residents in the nearby village of Telepino recovered it. In 1992, the government of Ukraine gave this tank to the Canadian War Museum.
