Thanks Ed....

I did see those after an exhaustive search last night...should have left well enough alone and let you help me Wink [;)] Only problem was that they aren't M4 pics...that first pic shows them in a Sherman with a longer gun....

I was chatting with that guy who knows a lot about Shermans last night and he thinks that their battalion had a late enough start that they didn't use M4's...so I may have to try to find some other scheme to do.... thanks again!

I know, Mike. All I found after a lengthy search were primarily pics of M-3 and M-5 Stuarts and that "other Sherman". Photos on the web are a little tough to come byu, but I'll start round 2 tonight. I'll let you know what I find.
