Yad La-Shiryon (officially: The Armored Corps Memorial Site and Museum at Latrun, (ヘブライ語:יד לשריון)) is Israel's official memorial site for fallen soldiers from the armored corps, as well as one of the most diverse tank museums in the world.〔(Latrun Armored Corps Museum )〕 The cornerstone for Yad La-Shiryon was laid on . The site was created through the initiative of veteran officers of the armored corps in cooperation with the armored corps. The outdoor display includes 110 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, both Israeli and captured enemy examples including the Merkava and T-72 tanks, as well as vehicles purchased from allied nations specifically for diversifying the collection. Other notables include a large tank successfully mounted high atop a former British water tower, a collection of mobile bridges constructed by the IDF which tanks can carry and erect whilst under fire, captured enemy vehicles, most of which Israel has modified and updated, a tank with a blown up gun, and a long, engraved commemorative wall bearing the names of Armored Corps soldiers killed in defense of the country. ==Memorial Site== The main building, a mandate era Tegart fortress houses a library with a publicly accessible computerized record of every fallen Israeli tank soldier, and a synagogue. The deeply pocked outer walls of the actual fort, itself, are a reminder of the building's wartime past and its use by the Arab Legion. The tower of the fortress has been converted into a "Tower of Tears" by Israeli artist Danny Karavan. The inside of the tower is covered by steel taken from a tank and water circulating from a pool underneath the installation trickles down the walls.〔(Yadlashiryon.com ) 〕 The museum also features a large amphitheater, an auditorium, and has photos, poetry, paintings and cartoons on display. Screenings are held regularly, showing both historical film footage and more recent tributes to Israelis injured and fallen. The Wall of Names, erected outside, displays the names of all the soldiers from the Armored Corps, killed in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and later wars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yad La-Shiryon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
