On February 15, 1942 the 6th Armored Division was created at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The 6th arrived in England in late February 1944 and landed on Utah Beach on July 18, 1944. During the 9.5 months the Division spent in Europe they spent most of the time assigned to Patton's Third Army and fought in 5 major campaigns. The 231st Armored Field Artillery Battalion was awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Silver Gilt Star, for Han-sur-Nied, France. On September 18, 1945 the 6th Armored Division was deactivated. Designed to meet a need for a self-propelled, fully armored and fully tracked artillery vehicle with enough firepower to meet contemporary warfare challenges, the M7 Priest was produced in 1942. The M7 earned the nickname "Priest" because of its pulpit-like machine gun ring, and because it followed two self-propelled guns known as "Bishop" and "Deacon." The M7 was very successful in US service and saw some success with the British as well, who initially requested more than 5,000 of them. Because they used US armament, however, they were logistically difficult for the British to supply and by 1943 were being phased out in favor of the Canadian Sexton. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
