On April 29, 1979, Major General U.S. Freeman CD officially unveiled a Bailey Bridge and Sherman Tank in front of the Canadian Military Engineers' Museum. The Sherman tank, "Caroline," displayed on the Bailey bridge symbolizes the important role of the Sherman tank, with the Canadian Armoured Corps, in the Second World War and, with the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, in the Korean War. The Bailey Bridge symbolizes the increased battlefield mobility provided by the Royal Canadian Engineers.
