M10 Achilles
I am going frolm memory here but according to my records the 96th Battery and 65th Battery belonging to the 5th Anti-Tank Regiment was also fitted with the 17 pounders while the other 2 Battery's 3rd &14th were using the 17 pound towed behind version. As well i have some personal records of one of the mechanics that if i remember correctly was charged with doing the modifications and they were done prior to this regiment going over to France on July 25-28, 1944. if anyone is Interested I can look it up, but i am pretty sure.
