D-Day, Sword Beach. Normandy 1944 by David Pentland
After suppressing the initial German defences, a Sherman "
Crab" flail tank of the 22nd Dragoons, 79th Armoured
Division, clears a path through a minefield to allow tanks of 27th
armoured Brigade, and men of 3rd Infantry Division to breakout
from the beaches. Fire support from surviving Sherman DD (amphibious)
tanks of 13th /`18th Hussars (QMO), proved invaluable in the initial
push towards Caen
The Death of Wittmann, St
Aignan de Cramesnil, France, 8th August 1944 by David Pentland. Following
an astonishing night march, the tanks of 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry
and men of 1st Battalion Black Watch found themselves ensconced in the
village of St. Aignan de Cramesnil some 4 miles behind German
lines. Shortly after noon a small group of Tiger I tanks were
spotted advancing north by 3 Troop, A Squadron. Some minutes later
Captain Boardman arrived in his Sherman I and when the enemy were within
800 yards he gave the order to open fire. The first two shots by
the troops Firefly brewed up the rearmost target. After moving to
a new position Trooper Joe Ekins fired again, knocking out a second
Tiger. Finally he turned his attention to the remaining tank,
destroying it with two more rounds. Unknown to the British tankmen
at the time it is now believed that the last Tiger was that of the top
German tank ace Hauptsturmfurher Michael Wittmann.

"Prepare to Ram", Operation Goodwood, Normandy,

| Prepare to Ram, Operation Goodwood, normandy, 18th July 1944 by David Pentland. While probing forward near Cagny on the initial day of the Goodwood offensive, Lt John Gorman, a troop commander of 2nd Armoured Battalion, Irish Guards, suddenly found himself confronted by a Tiger II and three Tiger Is of the elite 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion. Supported by only one other Sherman, and aware that their 75mm guns would be ineffective against such monsters, he gave the order to his driver to ram the King tiger. Gormans tank Ballyragget succeeded in colliding with its target before the Tigers 88mm gun could be brought to bear on his Sherman, and with both tanks immobilised the crews quickly abandoned their tanks. Lt. Gorman, however, was not finished and making his way off the field, he returned shortly afterwards with a Sherman Firefly, to finish off the stricken Tiger II and one of the Tiger Is. For this action he was awarded the Military Cross, and his driver L/Cpl Baron the Military Medal. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 25 inches x 16.5 inches (64cm x 42cm). Price £95.00
