Free French colonial troops
supported by American tanks during the fighting of the Italian
campaigns, May 1944 (LIFE has wrongfully captioned the month as August
1944!). They passed in front of abandoned Italian M42 Semovente 75/18
850(i) from German Panzerjäger-Abteilung 171/71.Infanterie-Division
"Kleeblatt" (Cloverleaf). The Airfix White M3 Halftrack comes with an
optional "canvas tilt" piece to cover the back (omitting the Five-oh and
mount), and Red Cross markings
