M4 Sherman in Merrill, WI

This is a Ford-built M4A3 (75). Notice it does not have any of the additional appliqué armor. Documents indicate Ford began applying that at the factory in 8/43, & kits were supplied to upgrade dry stowage Shermans both in the US & overseas. This one obviously never got the treatment.

There are quite a few of these Ford Shermans in Wisconsin, which suggests that the local National Guard unit may have trained with them post-war.
