Tank memorial M4A1 Sherman

The M4A1 Sherman tank stands in the center of La Roche-en-Ardenne at Quai de l'Ourthe, displaying combat damage marks on its front section.

The Belgian 1/3 Lancers Regiment installed this tank in 2004 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of La Roche-en-Ardenne.

A plaque on the tank honors the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd US Armored Divisions who freed La Roche-en-Ardenne and surrounding villages in January 1945.

Visitors can access the memorial directly from N89 Quai de l'Ourthe intersection with Rue du Presbytére, near the Musée de la Bataille des Ardennes.

This specific Sherman tank, named AMBOY, received a direct hit during combat operations, resulting in the complete loss of its crew during World War II.
