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".

Hi Hanno;

Yes, I have read that account also, and have also read in other accounts, that these Shermans were - purchased from the Americans; - bought from the Americans; - leased from the Americans and - supplied by the Americans. By whether it was by purchase/lease/supplied that they ended up in Canadian hands, in the end, they stayed in Korea after the departure of "D" Sqn RCD in '54.

Cheers
