changed it because i thought it was about the roqf 75mm. it says tank gun only. not the ww1 french gun. which was also referred to by such name. but it was not a tank gun. atleat not exclusivly which the roqf 75mm was. But thanks for the fororganisation. it looks alot better now. whoever it was.

The term NA75 refers to North Africa, this was when battalion workshops started fitting the Sherman 75mm guns to Churchill tanks. “1St Army in Tunisia in January 1943 acted on their own initiative and fitted 120 of their Mk IV (Churchills) with complete Mk3 75mm guns and mantlets salvaged from wrecked Sherman tanks."

M71 shot

[edit]

This sounds very interesting, but I cannot find any reference to its use anywhere else other than here, nor of the source given. Could someone please help by giving some sort of external link? The Sanctuary Sparrow 16:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
