This Sherman tank nicknamed Hellfire, was previously posted outside the Halifax Armouries. It was in memory of The Halifax Rifles RCAC, which originally had been a militia regiment for the city of Halifax, but was converted to an Armored regiment for WW2.
It now sits in a holding yard on a Canadian military base due to the fact that it was vandalized by people opposed to the War in Afganistan and Iraq. This I find is a shame. I support people's right to protest, but defacing a monument to the men and women who fought and died for our country, so that they could have the right to protest I find disgusting. As far as I know, there are no plans to put this monument back.
