This memorial is dedicated to the alumni, cadets, and staff of the Royal Military College of Canada; in particular those affiliate with the Royal Canadian Armoured Regiment. The Sherman Tank Model A2E8 was unveiled in the immediate post-WWI and WWII era, when the Royal Military College installed Armoured Fighting Vehicles on the College grounds. The Sherman Tank Model A2E8 was presented to the Royal Military College by the Class of 1971, and refurbished with the financial support of the Ex-Cadet Club 2010.
