While I know that it might have had other uses, I have read that the primary role of the Corbit 50SD6 was the prime mover for the 90mm, 155mm, and 203mm guns.
I was wondering if anyone might know as to which Artillery units received this truck. I am interested in the units that took part in the St. Lo and Operation Cobra campaigns? I could also think of a couple of more battles/ campaigns but for now, this will be a start.
I have found some pictures on the internet but nothing was helpful to me except one taken in a museum from I believe the US 3rd Armor Division but one can never tell from a museum piece if it is historically accurate or not.
Thank you in advance.
