Bomb (tank)
''Bomb'' is a Canadian Army Sherman Tank of the 27th Armoured Regiment (The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment) which landed at D-Day and fought across Northwest Europe until the end of World War II, the only Canadian tank that fought without interruption from D-Day to VE Day. Today ''Bomb'' is preserved at the William Street Armoury in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
==Origins==
''Bomb'' was built at General Motor’s Fisher Tank Arsenal in Flint, Michigan as an M4A2 Sherman Tank, serial number 8007, the 898th vehicle built at the arsenal. It was shipped to England where it was issued with the War Department number T-152656. The tank was assigned to B Squadron of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers as the regiment converted from older training tanks to new Shermans in preparation for the invasion of France as part of the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade.〔(Harold A. Skaarup, “Armoured Fighting Vehicles preserved in Canada 3: Quebec” )〕 The tanks of B Squadron all had names that started with ''B'' such as ''Barbara'' and ''Be Good''. The name ''Bomb'' was inspired by the cap badge of the fusiliers which features a stylized grenade.〔("The ''Bomb'' legacy lives on in Sherbrooke", ''Quebec AM, CBC Radio'', Oct. 20, 2014 )〕 The original crew was led by crew commander Sergeant Harold Futter. The driver was Lance-Corporal Rudy Moreault with co-driver Trooper "Red" Fletcher. The gunner was Trooper A.W. Rudolph and Trooper J.W. (Tiny) Hall was the loader.
