Historical context of the 25pdr Mk.II field gun:

The 25-pounder field gun (25pdr) was the primary artillery weapon of British Army field units from the late 1930s, throughout World War II, and up to the 1960s. The Mk.II variant featured a distinctive muzzle brake and a modernized design that ensured mobility, reliability, and a wide choice of ammunition – from high-explosive to smoke and anti-tank rounds. It served in all major theaters: from the desert battles in North Africa and the Normandy landings to combat in Burma and Italy.

The kit also includes the ammunition limber, allowing you to faithfully recreate the typical transport set used on the front. The limber enabled efficient movement of the gun with its ammunition supply across various terrains, enhancing the mobility of artillery units.
