Default Carrubba

If you do a google search of Carrubba you will find that it is a name with its origins in Sicily. 90th Field Regt along with 50th Division were part of XIII Corps in Sicily in 1943.

When did the 90th Fd Regt get Sextons? My understanding was that they landed on D-Day with M7’s and would have converted over to towed 25pdrs, which were the standard field gun of Artillery Regiments in Infantry Divisions.
