Osprey Publishing - The 25-pounder Field Gun 1939–72
Although the 25pdr was not in front line service by the mid Cold War period, it could have been pressed back into service.
It was just a good gun anyway. My grandfather was responsible for supplying the ammunition to the artillery and heard from a German prisoner once to ask how the Canadians have developed automatic artillery! It was just that Canadian gunners fired so fast!
The 25pdr was still being used by many countries which did not have more modern artillery into the 1980s
Pictures of my own guns to be posted
