Sherman Memorial, Slapton Sands


Sherman Memorial, Slapton Sands
Originally uploaded by TMR Davies

A simple yet moving memorial to all those hundreds of US soldiers who lost their lives when a squadron of German E-Boats got amongst the training exercise for D Day, which due to the wrong radio frequencies could not call for support.

This was a "swimming tank", that sank during training and was raised a few years ago.
