Bomb is a preserved M4 Sherman tank. It was used by the Canadian Army 27th Armoured Regiment (The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment) which landed in France on 6 June and fought across northwest Europe until the end of World War II. It was one of the few Canadian tanks that fought without interruption from D-Day to VE Day.

Today Bomb is preserved at the William Street Armoury in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
