Tank memorial M4A1 Sherman

Tank memorial M4A1 Sherman, Tank memorial in La Roche-en-Ardenne, Belgium.

The M4A1 Sherman tank stands on a low stone wall at Quai du Gravier, overlooking the Ourthe in central La Roche-en-Ardenne. Its olive-green hull bears a white five-pointed star and the faint lettering "CHRY"; a long gun barrel extends to the right. Two plaques on the base read "LIBERATION DE LA ROCHE" and "16.09.1944".

La Roche-en-Ardenne was largely destroyed in the Battle of the Bulge and liberated on 11 January 1945 by British and American troops. On 17 December 2004 a Belgian Army cavalry regiment, the 1/3 Régiment de lanciers, placed this M4A1 Sherman on Quai du Gravier for the battle's 60th anniversary, honouring the 2nd and 3rd US Armored Divisions. It replaced an M46 Patton given by the infantry school at Arlon in 1990.

A plaque on the tank honors soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd US Armored Divisions who liberated La Roche-en-Ardenne and nearby villages. The memorial reflects how the community remembers those who helped restore freedom to the region.

The tank is directly accessible from Quai de l'Ourthe and sits near the Musée de la Bataille des Ardennes, making it easy to visit on foot. The memorial has no entrance barriers, allowing visitors to view it anytime from the surrounding street.

The tank's nickname AMBOY is not painted on the vehicle; visitors see a white five-pointed star on the turret and the letters "CHRY" on the hull. The M4A1 Sherman, armed with a 76-mm gun, replaced an M46 Patton that the infantry school in Arlon gave to La Roche in 1990.
