    Problem solved not only in WWII did we see Sherman's employed as arty with their Ar*e ends dug down front hull up for extra range or to get plunging fire over a hill.
    We saw this tactic even more in the Korean conflict with Pershings deployed in the same manner so at a pinch you can always do something to make things work.
    What's the saying "Adapt & overcome".

    Dads extra medals had me going to the Govt defence page, you have to and fill in the required data they want, I don't think is run by the pollies.
    Over the years there have been numerous instances where higher ups get the gongs/accolades but the poor bl**dy infantry gets left out sorta like a boys club.
    Like they said of Patton in WWII "Our blood, His guts", hence his nik of Ol' blood & guts.
