Here's a quickie question... our Strathconas "borrowed" American M4A3E8s for service in Korea... what colour were they and what markings did they carry? Were the American War Department numbers changed to Canadian standard, or did they remain the same as issued? Does anyone know what that sequence of numbers was, regardless of whether they were Canadian or American? As per John Tapsell's original question, there seems to be precious little on the subject.
