M10 "Achilles" for D-Day Group Build

[Rumblestripe]

I'm looking to build the Tamiya 1/48 M10 Tank Destroyer for the D-Day Group Build. The box contains decals for "Chelsea" which was destroyed in an encounter with a Pz IV near Escoville. I believe two batteries of M10s of the Royal Artillery went ashore on D-Day+2 on Juno beach. I'd rather avoid the identity of "Chelsea", (too easy) can anyone help me with alternative identities? Or point me in the direction of books or internet sites?

 

This site deals with the fate of "Chelsea" in some detail

Thanks people.

Chelsea and other known Achillies (M10. 17) can be found on this pdf file.  Once you load the page, use your browser 'word find' function to weed out the listed M10. 17
