In the 39th Tank Chat, David Fletcher looks at one of the very first Shermans produced - 'Michael' an M4A1.
The tank was named MICHAEL in honour of Michael Dewar and when it arrived in London it was displayed on Horse Guards Parade as the first Sherman tank to be delivered under the Lend-Lease scheme.
In Britain the tank was christened the Sherman and this is almost certainly the oldest example of a Sherman tank to survive.
