Of all the British guns in use during the Second World War, the 25 pounder is the gun that best represents Britain's armed forces.It was adaptable, it packed a powerful punch, and above all it was reliable. The last 25-pounder gun to see action in the British Army was one used by SAS troops at Mirbat, Oman, in 1972.This book provides a full combat history of a gun that was used in every theatre of the Second World War and saw extensive service in the postwar years, particularly in Korea and during the Malaysian emergency.
