5September 2, 2024M10 Tank Destroyer (mid Production), D Battery, 72nd Anti-tank Regiment Royal Artillery, 6th Armored Division, Italy, August 1944. Although most M10's in British Service remained in the original US Olive Drab, D1 has been repainted in a base coat of dry mud, SCC5 with bands of olive green, SCC7 (or grey black SCC14).
