King & Country's DD223 M3A3 "Stuart" Light Tank
Named after the famous Confederate Cavalry leader this little “Stuart” is in the markings of the 52nd. Armoured Brigade of the famous British 7th. Armoured Division (The Desert Rats). Apart from its small 37mm main gun it is equipped with 2 x .30 caliber machine guns and a half-body tank commander.
Although development of this tank began before America entered the war the little Stuart was one of the first U.S. tanks to see actual battle in North Africa.
By 1944 it was primarily used as a tracked scouting and reconnaissance tank that operated ahead of the main body of British, Canadian and American medium battle tanks.
