Books…
Although only 100 examples were produced, the 155mm Gun Motor Carriage M12 served with distinction as an infantry-support weapon, and in particular as a bunker-buster, during the U.S. assault on the Siegfried Line in the winter of 1944-45. The production run was between September 1942 and March 1943, with a total of 100 units built. Though a few were used by training units, most were placed in storage until February 1944, when the first of 74 of them were shipped to Baldwin Locomotive Works to be improved based on further tests and usage in training. This work continued until May 1944. $25.00 USD

King Albert's Heroes Describes the incredible story of the ACM – the Belgian army's first unit of armored cars. It covers the unit's formation in 1915, and its transfer to the Russian Front, where the Belgians fought against Austrian and German troops. It recounts the adventures of the ACM-men in the midst of the Russian Revolution and their odyssey, first along the Trans-Siberian railway through China to Vladivostok, then across the Pacific Ocean to the United States, where King Albert's heroes were received with tremendous enthusiasm. This amazing story concludes with the unit's return to France and the subsequent post-war time of the ACM-veterans. Illustrated with color drawings and more than 200 original photos. $40.00 USD
