The crew consisted of three men, the commander (who also operated the main gun), a machine-gunner, and the driver.)A-Day for the attack on Leyte was set for the 20th of October 1944. This assault would be the largest operation in the Pacific Theater to date. For the first time during WWII, the vast majority of all of the Allied air and naval forces in the Central Pacific and Southwest Pacific Areas would be focused on a single operation; providing either direct or indirect support for the 202,500 ground troops initially committed to the invasion of Leyte.The ground forces, LG Krueger's Sixth Army, were made up of MG John R. Hodge's XXIV Corps (7TH and 96TH Infantry Divisions), MG Franklin C. Sibert's X Corps (1ST Cavalry Division and 24TH Infantry Division), the Sixth Army Reserve (32D and 77TH Infantry Divisions), and the 6TH Ranger Battalion.On the 1st of January 1945, the 77TH Division was directed to relieve the 32nd Division. Shortly thereafter, the 32nd began to assemble in the Carigara-Pinamopoan area on Carigara Bay. There it received some well-earned rest, but it couldn't rest for long because it also had to start preparing for its next mission, the invasion of Luzon.The 32D Infantry Division suffered nearly 2,000 battle casualties during its 47 days of combat during the fight for Leyte, 450 of its soldiers had been killed, 1,491 soldiers wounded, and 8 soldiers were MIA.(Colourised by Royston Leonard from the UK)</blockquote>
