Image edit
I'm pretty sure the vehicle on the image Image:75mm M3 GMC.jpg carries 105mm howitzer, which makes it 105mm HMC T19. Note different gun recoil system and shield: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=T19+105mm+HMC&btnG=Search+Images and http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=M3+75mm+GMC&btnG=Search+Images.

- Believe you are correct. I'm removing the image until I can get something better. The *png of the TD force insignia will have to serve as the sole image until then. Thanks for pointing that out. W. B. Wilson 10:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Done - correct image now loaded. W. B. Wilson 10:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Name edit
Unsure how to change it, but the title of the page says "M3 Gun Mortar Carriage". Should read "M3 Gun Motor Carriage". Suggest this be changed. - SquireJames 17:43, 07 August 2011 (GMT)
Okinawa? edit
Perhaps the author(s) of the article confused, at least chronologically, Okinawa with Iwo Jima because I have read several sources that explicitly state that the M3 was replaced after Iwo by the M7 and it was the M7 that saw its first use by the Marines on Okinawa.--172.190.48.160 (talk) 05:25, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
