Neat, sweet, petite! :D

How about a companion piece showing some Shermans lined up for bombartment like in "The Bridge at Remagen", which was the only time I can think that Hollywood has ever used them as they were originally designed (well, unless you count when one turned up in support of the Free French in "The Longest Day").

Being a Northamptonian, this was a little tribute.

At the end of January 1945 the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry were equipped with LVT Buffalos. They completed their training in Holland. On 21st March they transported men of the 51st Highland Division over the Rhine.
