Details About the RELIC: Displayed on a metallic dataplate, this steel fragment was taken from a larger internal metal latch cover from a Sherman tank of the 11th Armoured Division. Discovered near the village of Habloville, France, this internal latch cover still includes the frozen clasps and original gasket. With faint traces of green paint still appearing on the edges, this latch cover includes small fragments of canvas cloth that once covered the top. Typically, canvas rarely lasts more than a few years when buried, so this relic definitely retains more originality than other armour fragments we've worked with. The shape of the cover is highly distorted from the damage this tank sustained during fighting at the Falaise Pocket on 16-20 August 1944. It is one of the few armour relics that can be processed for inclusion in relic art given the large, heavy size of tank armor. The Story Behind the Print: August 1944 - British Fireflies of the 11th Armoured Division, 29th Armoured Brigade, 23rd Hussars engage elements of the 2nd Panzer Division during Operation Bluecoat. After capturing a vital bridge over the river Souleuvre at Beny Bocage, the British quickly exploited the high ground in the area. Once enemy contact had dwindled, the 23rd Hussars entered the town of La Ferriere-Harang and were promptly mobbed by a local liberation parade.
