Yuk...almost worse than a poor mine detector. No mine detector. Just probing. The drill is to lie flat for that probe...bent over like that can see things fall off of you. Like an undone helmet.

[CINDERS]

Gather that's a Firefly with the 17pdr main gun, I agree with BAR.

[gtodan]

Must be reservists......

[RudyN]

That sure looks like a fun detail??

[browningautorifle]

Yup...really fun when it's real or questionable...

[Bob Seijas]

Have seen that shot before... IIRC, the tank hit a mine.

[CINDERS]

Just looking at some of the head gear and terrain is the local Korea ! also noted is the left track protruding out the front as stated by Bob Seijas about the mine. And just one other question guys for the personnel familiar with tanks did the Sherman ever get fitted with a 90mm gun like the one on the M-10 or is it M-110 tank destroyer just curious that's all.

[gsimmons]

Yes, the M36 used a 90mm M3 gun.
