Browning .50 HMG on Sherman

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Who was looking for photos of that peculiar white .50-cal ammunition box as used on Sherman tanks?

Hi Hanno

Interesting to note the tire on the truck. Looks to be normal highway tire, I've seen photos this type of tire used on Canadian Army trucks during the war but most often in Canada. Examples http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/C...20Columbia.htm

I've driven my CMPs with this type of tire on the road they are great, on wet grass they have no traction at all.

Cheers Phil

Found the previous thread on this subject and merged the two.
