Known as the 75mm Gun Motor Carriage M3 by our US cousins.
1[sup]st[/sup] King's Dragoon Guards, Italy 1944. Formed as The Queen's Regiment of Horse by James II in 1685. They served as cavalry until 1939 when they received Vickers Mk.VIB Light Tanks and joined the Royal Armoured Corps. In 1959 they merged with The Queen's Bays (2[sup]nd[/sup] Dragoon Guards), also formed in 1685 by James II, becoming the 1[sup]st[/sup] Queen's Dragoon Guards (Welsh Cavalry). They are the senior regiment, Cavalry of the Line in the British Army.
