| Notes | The 6in howitzer was designed as a replacement for the vintage 6in 30 cwt howitzer. It was used successfully during World War One and up-graded with pneumatic wheels in the interwar period. It started World War Two as the standard medium howitzer and saw action on all fronts with British and Commonwealth nations. It was gradually replaced by the more modern 5.5in gun but some saw action until 1945 then taken out of service. |
