This is pictures from last weekend, where the M-10 was presented for the public for the first time.

As written above we found the number S290465 under several layers of paint and the information on the number came from a canadian - 08 Apr 45 Issued to B Sqn 1st Cnd Corp. The vehicle is from 1943 and it must have a history from 43 to 45 especially because it has two serious shots in the front (transmission area) - one ricochet and one repaired piercing shot. It could have had a completely different number before S290465 and can have belonged to a different unit, but again there is no information at the Royal Artillery Museum and nothing from Bovington. Maybe someone here on the forum knows more??
Anyway there should exist a war diary from B Sqn 1st Cnd Corp 4 Canadian Corps.

Best regards
