Seventy-seven years ago, the Holy Roller was moving inland from Juno Beach to support the 1st Hussars advance across Western Europe. On Tuesday, the tank was transported to Fanshawe’s School of Transportation Technology and Apprenticeship where volunteers will begin a year-long effort to preserve the memorial.
Fanshawe College will be providing the facilities and supplemental equipment to the Holy Roller preservation team. Students and faculty from across the College will also be engaged in the project by incorporating Signature Innovative Learning Experiences into curriculum. For example, Broadcasting – Television and Film Production students will document the process and Auto Body Techniques and Motive Power Technician students will provide hands-on work helping to preserve the tank.
