This Surviving American M26 Pershing Heavy Tank used to be in the pretty village of La Roche-en-Ardenne. It saw action in the last few months of WW2 but not in the 1944 Battle of the Bulge in the Belgium Ardennes.

It had been preserved as a memorial in the car park in the center of town called the Place du Gravier by the river road called Quai de lÓurthe. It was replaced in 2004 with a M4A1(76)W Sherman Tank which was felt to be more representative of the Allied tanks that were used to liberate the local area and the town of La Roche-en-Ardenne. The M26 Pershing went to Le Camp Roi Albert in Marche.
