See my paragraph on M10 in the article. If you have a copy of a manual or War Office documentation to settle the issue, I would like to see it.
As I mentioned in another thread, I highly doubt "wolverine" was a Canadian nickname.
To my understanding "wolverine" was only used to reference M10s using the American 76mm. Considering the only M10's used by Canada were already converted to the 17-pounder "Achilles" versions, it is highly doubtful Canada dubbed that nickname. My grandfather served in the 4th Canadian armoured division, 5th anti-tank regiment as a gunner in an Achilles. The regiment printed a journal at the end of the war("
The history of the 5th Canadian Anti-Tank Regiment"), and I only see the m10 referenced as the "achilles" or more often generally as a 17 pounder SPG or gun.
As you can see I'm rather passionate about this, have I convinced you any Chieftain, or would you still prefer a better source?
