You meant to say "they were most likely sold back to them" didn't you......

David Bercuson in Blood on the Hills mentions "Ottawa authorized Rocky to arrange to swap the M-10 tank destroyers of C Squadron, Lord Strathcona's Horse, for Sherman M4A3 tanks, supplied by the U.S. Army". I don't know what "supplied" means in this particular case, but as far as I know there was some sort of Lend-Lease scheme for in-theatre supplies. I'm pretty sure the US controlled arms trafficing in Korea, so it is highly unlikely they were "sold off in theatre". BTW, I would not be surprised if the Murricans forgot to hand back those M10s when the Canucks came rounds to hand in the Shermans at the motor pool
