Îïèñàíèå: The Sexton was a Canadian built self-propelled gun using a Ram (M3) of Grizzly (M4) chassis. This example was presented by Dr Matthew Kiln in memory of his father, Major Robert Kiln, and the British troops who landed on Gold beach. In the early 1990’s Major Robert Kiln wrote “D-Day to Arnhem with Hertfordshire’s gunners”, his personal account of the period. It also stands as a memorial to the 86th (Hertfordshire Yeomanry) Field Regiment of the British Royal Artillery. Equipped with Sextons, they were among the first units to land on D-Day and fired at enemy targets whilst still approaching the beach on their landing craft. Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, France 8th July 2022
