Hi Ed,

Yeh I've got that one source allready. But thanks!

Here's a few others: http://755thtank.com/porivercamp.html

The 1st & 2nd source states between 19 and 22 April 1945. The 755th Tank Battalion drew fifteen (15) 17 pounder M4 Tanks. Seventeen (17) M4A3's and Seventeen (17) M4's. divided between companies A,B and C. Company D was equiped with seventeen (17) M24 Light Tanks. Now that's a one third representation of 17 pounder equiped M4's in that U.S. Armored battalion. Pretty decent representation IMO.

The second source talking about the same unit. States that on 27 April 1945, One of those 17 pounder M4's got in on the action.
