Default M4 Medium Tank "Cookie" will return to Overloon war museum

All,

Good news! The M4 Medium Tank "Cookie", which is of significant historical value to the Netherlands, will return from Italy where it served as a Canadian memorial in Ortona since 2006.

It will be exchanged for an M4A4, which is the appropriate type used by the Canadian Army in Italy, and "Cookie" will return to the area where it was left after WW2. It has registration number USA 3033401, and was in service with the U.S. 7th Armored Division during the Battle of Overloon.

For more information, please see the attached Press release - Shermantank Cookie will return to Overloon.pdf
