Re: Wreck
From the french booklet Historica N°87:
Lt Gorman from the Irish Guard collide the Tiger2 from the 503 Abt on the 18th of July 44. The German crew escape and the Sherman crew do the same. As the fight was not finished Gorman wanted to find a firefly, what he did. He then took the control from the firefly a shooted a tiger 1 also there, then he shoot the Tiger2 and his own Sherman from 700m until he saw saw them burning. Mr Gorman was present on 18 Jully 1999 for the inauguration of a memorial about this event. On 18th Jully 2004, Saumur Museum brough his running Tiger2 and a sherman for a "then and now" celebration on exactly the same emplacement 60 years after, ie: on the road between Cagny and Emiéville.
