ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteSpearhead is a weapon from the middle ages, its super quality is making this spear so startling. It gives you much true evidence about the sixth century BC. Thanks a lot.
"Spearhead" used in this instance,refers to the nickname of the 3rd armored division.Of which this American Hero was a proud member.
