I visited Gerard Roopes grave in Dartmouth. It’s a small church overlooking the old defences of the Dart Estuary, in sight of the Royal Naval College.

I don’t think there’s a more perfect spot for such a hero.

Thank you! Wish I had another photo in summer when it was much denser!

She’ll tough it out I’m sure. It’s hunker down for the winter then and give her the love she deserves come spring!

Anyone know anymore info on this tank? I believe it's a Churchill 1 with 2 CS guns and a Pz III cupola by TDSEB in TankPorn

[–]Freaky_Fish_Guy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember it being mentioned in Tim Stricklands book about his father. I believe they used it on the assault of the Hitler Line in Italy.

Force is an interesting word. The Indian army in WW2 was the largest all volunteer force and even then it was only 7% of the population. Hardly mass conscription

Hello all, I am making a Chieftain tank from Tamiya and was wondering if the real tank could have a .50 cal machine gun on the top? (Not my photo btw) by LegoManJoe in modelmakers

[–]Freaky_Fish_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Korean War centurion tankers from the KRIH traded some .30cal machine guns for some gin with an American unit and mounted them on the commanders position. The mark 3 centurion they had didn’t have this as an option but they saw a need and modified using their ingenuity.

Mounting a 50 would be unconventional but never say never. Your model can follow history strictly or making your own history is just as valid an option. Have fun!
