Allied Use
Around 170 GMC M3s were provided to the British Army in early 1943. The British deployed them in the headquarters troops of armored car and tank units as self-propelled artillery pieces. These, known as 75 mm SP, Autocar in British nomenclature, were employed in Tunisia and Italy. The 75 mm GMC M3 was also used by the French Army on a limited basis on the Western Front 1944-45. The M3 GMC was also used by the Philippine Army and Philippine Constabulary during World War II under Japanese Occupation (1942-1945) and the post war era (1945-1960s) using Hukbalahap Rebellion by local government forces against Huk rebels and Korean War by PEFTOK.

Famous quotes containing the word allied:
“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
