The British considered the excellent 25 pdr one of the best field guns of its day and whilst it didn't fire as heavy a shell as the German and United States 105mm howitzers, it was light, mobile and easy to reposition in combat situations. It also had excellent range and by 1944 it was still the primary artillery weapon of the British and Commonwealth forces, now sporting the muzzle brake introduced in 1942 so the gun could fire new super-charged rounds to substantially increase its muzzle velocity for anti-tank work. The 25 pdr gun was capable of firing a wide variety of ammunition, including smoke, flare, incendiary, propaganda and squash-head shells, as well as the normal HE, Shrapnel and AP rounds.
