September 2, 2024M10 Tank Destroyer (mid Production), D Battery, 72nd Anti-tank Regiment Royal Artillery, 6th Armored Division, Italy, August 1944. Although most M10's in British Service remained in the original US Olive Drab, D1 has been repainted in a base coat of dry mud, SCC5 with bands of olive green, SCC7 (or grey black SCC14). The lower hull and suspension have been left in OD. M10's in British service were issued to Royal Artillery Anti-tank regiments and were deployed as anti-tank guns but were often used in traditional indirect artillery roles due to mountainous terrain making for poor tank country.6
