| Subject: | Re: Tarawa Sherman "Water" Can Rack On Rear of Hull |  |

It's a small detail I know, but I thought that I would clarify that the rack on the back of the Tarawa Shermans was actually for water no gas. Tarawa was such a tiny island that gas would not be an issue for any vehicle.
But fresh water was worth its weight in gold. Later USMC tank units replaced the 5 gallon can with the Stuart external fuel tanks. Seen in the Marianas and Iwo campaigns.
Just thought that I would pass it on. |
