In the Cherokee Hall of Fame, three names are written above all others -- Chief Junaluska, a warrior statesman; Sequoyah who devised a language for the Cherokees and a printing press for its use and Tsali, the greatest hero of all who gave his life so that the remainder of the Cherokees could live on their original land.

The former Piedmont Service Station in Chase City, Mecklenburg Couunty, Virginia is a classic structure with the Gulf orange and cobalt blue colors. The pull through area (port cochere) is expansive and covers a large area, including an asymmetrical wall pattern which matches the interesting angles of the covered area. The station dates from about 1925. It has been well-preserved, down to the decorfative pressed tin ceiling of the covered area (see images 8 and 9). A mechanic's bay is located on the left part of the building. The Gulf sign is complete with bullet holes. This must have been a prime location, occupying a corner lot. It's not in operation today. Is is a contributing structure in the Chase City Warehouse and Commercial Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 12/11/2020 with reference number 100005923.

A ruined neo-classical styled mansion just outside of Chepstow in South Wales located in Piercefield Park between the racecourse and the Wye Valley. It was designed by Sir John Soane in the 1790's but was in decline by the time it was purchased by the Chepstow Racecourse Company in the 1920's. It was alledgedly used as target practice by American troops during WW2.

The remains of a WW2 Churchill tank at a location known as Kithurst Hill, nearby to the South Downs Way. The nearest villages/towns would be Storrington and Findon.
At the end of WW2, this particular tank had apparently developed a mechanical problem and - since it had already been superseded by later models - it was considered 'uneconomical to repair' and was handed over for target practice.
Once it had fulfilled this role (and it fulfilled it well, because the far side of the shell is literally peppered with holes!), it was somehow rolled to a nearby bomb crater and buried in it.
In more recent times, the tank was excavated (by the army) and certain parts including the turret were removed for preservation and use by the The Tank Museum (formerly The Bovington Tank Museum) in Dorset.
The surviving parts of the shell have been left above ground, as can be seen here.
