4.5" Howitzer Battery (BBX22) with four OQF 4.5" Howitzers, four sets of Gun Crew, Command Rifle team, four Large bases & one Small base.

The origins of the Ordinance Quick Fire (OQF) 4.5� howitzer go back as far as the Boer War of 1899-1902. The British forces begun to realise that their own field artillery was being outclassed by the more modern pieces being fielded by the Boers. The British immediately got to work developing potential contenders in an attempt to catch up.

By 1908, the 4.5� howitzer was ready for service. The 4.5� howitzer saw action on most fronts during the First World War and by the beginning of the Second World War the 4.5� howitzer continued its service with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France during 1940.
