The Sherman tank, known as Duguay Trouin, participated in the liberation of Dijon. On September 6, 1944, the tank, at the head of a platoon of five others in Dijon, was hit by two German anti-tank shells: three of the six men of the crew lost their lives there: Second Lieutenant Cattanéo, tank commander, Brigadier-Chief Petitbon, and Cuirassier Delaporte.

Grave of 'Washed Ashore' in East Sussex,...

May 7, 2024

In the serene churchyard of St Mary the Virgin Parish Church, in the village of Friston on England’s south coast is a small but poignant wooden cross.
