U.S. General George S. Patton acknowledges the cheers of thousands during a parade through downtown Los Angeles, California, on June 9, 1945. Shortly thereafter, Patton returned to Germany and controversy, as he advocated the employment of ex-Nazis in administrative positions in Bavaria; he was relieved of command of the 3rd Army and died of injuries from a traffic accident in December, after his return home. Joe Rosenthal's famous Iwo Jima flag-raising photograph is visible on the war bonds billboard.

The only complete preserved Nuffield A39 Tank Heavy Assault "Tortoise", at Bovington Tank Museum.  I am open to correction on this - but I believe that this machine is actually in running order, and has been used in demonstrations at Bovington.  Best regards, JR.
