Now, for your reading pleasure

I almost pulled that one out, but I figure you won't hit me with the first shot and by the time you open the breech to put in another round you'll be dead from multiple 40mm strikes. LOL... But if you insist...

I meet your call to 75mm and raise you 30 more to the 105mm T19.

The T19 was a limited stop-gap standard production vehicle produced from January 1942 to April 1942 by combining the regular M2 howitzer with the M3 halftrack in a similar fashion to the M3 75mm GMC. The T19 was intended as an interim solution until the fully tracked M7 105mm HMC could be fielded, and the 325 T19s produced were used in training, and also by artillery companies of infantry divisions, as well as artillery battalions of armored divisions during the North Africa campaign. They were largely replaced by the time of the invasion of Sicily, though some lingered on through the Italian campaign and later the invasion of Southern France. In July 1945, 90 T19s were converted to M3A1 infantry carrier halftracks



Let the Halftrack Wars Rage!

LOL...

PS - I hope your holidays were good.
