Default Re: M7 Priest
Hi John;

There were a total of 76x M7 Priest 105mm How. SPGs converted to Priest Kangaroos before the launch of Operation TOTALIZE, but only 36 were allotted to each assaulting division (2nd Cdn Inf and 51st (H) Inf Div)(36 + 36 = 72), I haven't been able to figure out where the other 4 were used or who they were allotted to, possibly they were held in Corps reserve.

Cheers
