M4A3 (E8) Sherman Medium Tank - Fort George G Meade, MD - Military Ground Equipment Displays on Waymarking.com

The M4 Sherman, formally Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. Thousands were also distributed to the Allies, including the British Commonwealth and the Soviet Union, via lend-lease. In the United Kingdom, the M4 was named after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, following the British practice of naming their American-built tanks after famous American Civil War generals. Subsequently, the British name found its way into common use in the U.S. By VJ Day, almost 50,000 M4 tanks had been built with numerous modifications. The M4A3 (E8) tank did not enter service until late in the war. The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort George G Meade used it from 1946 to 1951.
