"The 25-Pounder Field Gun/Howitzer was one of the types of artillery used by the Canadian Army during the Second World War and in Korea. This gun is located at the Dows Lake Armoury in Ottawa, Ontario.
This British-designed Howitzer is one of the world's classic artillery pieces. The 1.8 ton piece was issued early in the Second World War as a replacement for the earlier 18-pounder of First World War vintage. During its service, in addition to barrage, the gun was used in an anti-tank role and as a self-propelled unit. The crew of one Non-Commissioned Officer and five men could fire four rounds per minute and the piece would hurl a shell up to 13,400 yards."
