Details:
This was the firt signigicant variant of the M3 series.
Accepted into service in October 1941, this SPG consisted
of the mounting of the M1897A5, a howitzer of WW1 vintage,
on the M3. A total of around 1300 were built between early
1941 and April 1943 and first saw action in the Philippines
(later used by the Japanese against the US in '44-'45)
and later in Tunisia.
The British received 175 and used them in Tunisia, Sicily,
Italy and in the Normandy Campaign! The US Marines used
them at Saipan, Peleliu and Okinawa. |
