Royal Horse Artillery Battery (BBX03) with four 25pdr howitzers and 18/25pdr guns, four sets of gun crew, two Command Rifles teams, one Observer Rifle team & one Staff team.

At the end of the First World War, the British Army had begun to develop a light artillery piece that amalgamated the advantages of a howitzer with those of a field gun. Further analysis concluded the new design should be 3.7 inches in calibre, and fire a shell weighing between 20-25 lbs at ranges up to 15,000 yards. After testing several options, the War Department quickly concluded that the 25 pdr would be used to equip future units of the field artillery.
