Grant M3 Tank 5/5

Filed under General Grant Information

The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called “General Lee” named after General Robert E. Lee, and its modified version built to British specification, with a new turret, was called “General Grant” named after General Ulysses S. Grant.
As a rush job intended to be brought from design to production in a short period, the M3 was well-armed and -armored for the period, but due to various shortcomings (high silhouette, archaic sponson mounting of the main gun, below average off-road performance) it was not competitive and was withdrawn from front line duty as soon as the M4 Sherman became available in large numbers.

Sorry – Following recent obscene and racist comments on recent videos I have disabled the comments function.
Excuse the lack of Conservatives in the video – a dearth of suitable source material, I’m afraid.
A thank you from the government for your money, which has saved many MPs and ministers from extreme hardship.
Sound has been fixed.

General Grant Redwood Tree, Grant Grove, Kings Canyon NP

The General tree is the largest Giant Sequoia in the Grant Grove section of Kings Canyon National Park. It was named in 1867 after Ulysses S. Grant, Union Army general and the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877).

President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed it the “Nation’s Christmas Tree” in 1926. On March 29, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared the tree a “National Shrine”, a memorial to those who died in war. It is the only living object to be so declared.[1]

Decorations for the Nation’s Christmas TreeThe tree is the second-largest tree in the world, after the General Sherman (Giants Grove, Sequoia National Park) according to the list of the National Park Service, which does not take the latter tree’s fire and storm damage into account.

The General Grant tree stands 81.1 m, and its diameter is the second-largest of all Giant Sequoias at 8.85 m with the Boole tree slightly stouter at 8.98 m.[2] Its circumference at the base including broad root buttresses, is 32.8 m (108 ft).[3]

Once thought to be well over 2,000 years old, recent estimates point to a much younger age closer to 1,650 years.[4]
