Tanker's Tuesday: M26 Pershing

This unit in Korea does this every year.





The M26 Pershing tank was developed during World War II for the US Army. Entering service in 1945, small numbers of M26 Pershings saw combat in Europe.

The tank is at the entrance to Dragon Valley at Camp Casey, South Korea. I hate to say how many times I took a nap under it, after a late night in town, before walking up the valley to the barracks.
