New Additions[edit]

A lot of new information was added to this article in Dec 2022. There's some good and relevant detail here - context for the battles that involved this tank, damage and near misses, details on the fate of crew members etc but it needs work:

1) The new material is not properly footnoted. There seem to be square bracket footnotes that do not correspond to sources. If you added this material - please fix with proper footnotes.
2) Some of the new material overlaps facts that are already present and sourced in the article - this overlap should be fixed as the repetition is confusing.
3) Some of the new information is highly technical and should be condensed or moved to footnotes.

the 'only' tank to fight from D-day to VE day[edit]

Is the claim that 'Bomb' is the only Canadian tank that fought without interruption from D-Day to VE Day correct? 'Holy Roller', A Sherman of the 6th Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) is also reputed to have served from D-Day to VE Day. Is the caveat of fighting 'without interruption' The significant difference? I'm not aware of whether or not 'Holy Roller' was damaged and taken out of service during the campaign. --Mike McGregor (Can) (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the CBC story on 'Holy Roller' this morning (Nov 11), and it made me think of 'Bomb'. I looked into Candian tanks after seeing the movie 'Fury'. Although the movie was brutal, I learned that most tankers in battle burned to death, a brutal way to die! It would seem that more than 1 tank made it from D Day to to VE Day! 24.224.252.117 (talk) 14:58, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

Why does this article have final words? This is very mut not encyclopedic. 2A00:1398:4:1404:94D7:C56F:F031:E803 (talk) 06:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the whole article reads again and again like an essay 46.223.161.168 (talk) 20:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
