Evening Grace Folks~

Happy Treadhead Tuesday!

On the third day of the war it was the 87th that alone held the front line in a critical area against superior enemy forces, . . .

The story of Israeli defense.

Patton of the Sinai?

Isn't General Dayan the guy who lost an eye because a sniper shot his binocs?
Very lucky guy to survive that if he's who I'm thinking of.

General Moshe Dayan, November 24, 1967, in Israel.

IMHO, one of Israel's best generals.

Yom Kippur war of 1973: M4A3E8 Shermans modified by the Israelis, major changes include a 105mm gun and large counterweight at the turret rear.

The "Easy Eight" was still providing good service in 1973.
