M41 Walker Bulldog - Walkaround - Memorial Antony ‘Tony’ Ross Chaudfontaine.
The M41 Walker Bulldog, officially 76-mm Gun Tank, M41,
was an American light tank developed
for armed reconnaissance purposes and to replace the
M24 Chaffee light tank.
Development of the M41 proceeded slowly
because most armored vehicle development programs suffered
from a lack of funding after the war
until the outbreak of the Korean War, when the US Army's renewed
demands for more tanks resulted in its being rushed into production.
The hasty production cycle led to numerous modifications
during the course of and after manufacture and
this would lead to led to technical problems and they
would never take part in the Korean War.
The M41A1 was later superseded by the M41A2 and M41A3,
which had the advantage of greater ammunition stowage,
and considerably simplified gun and turret systems.
The Bulldog would see action in Vietnam and the Bay of Pigs Invasion
But it would be replaced by the much lighter and more heavily armed Sheridan.
Production would stop in 1954 after 5,467 were produced most second-hand
US M41s were refurbished and subsequently sold or
donated to US allies abroad, namely Brazil, Japan, and South Vietnam.
The M41 would be used by many other countries
like Belgium, Japan, Brazil, West Germany
and South Vietnam.
It is also still used by in many other countries today
and would even see action in the 2006 Thai coup d'état
This M41 located at the Fort d'Embourg and was used by the
4eèRegiment de Chasseurs a Cheval in Arnsberg, Germany.
It would be placed as a gatekeeper on a German base
and was shipped to this location in the 70s
to sit next to the monument in memory of the
American soldier Antony ‘Tony’ Ross.
Tony was a soldier of the American 3rd Armoured Division
which was executed on this spot by
German troops on 7 September 1944.
