EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and intensity of a 25 pdr gun in action during World War Two. The image, one of 48 collected by Major M Budd of the Royal Artillery between 1942 and 1952, provides a unique insight into the pivotal role of artillery in the conflict. The 25 pdr gun, a versatile and effective weapon, was widely used by the British Army throughout the war. Its large caliber and high explosive shells proved instrumental in breaking through enemy lines and providing crucial support to ground troops. The photograph, dated circa 1940s, depicts the gun in action, with smoke billowing from the barrel as the crew diligently load and prepare for the next shot. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged terrain, further emphasizing the challenging conditions under which these soldiers fought. The 25 pdr gun was a vital component of the Allied arsenal, and its presence on the battlefield was a reassuring sight for troops knowing that it could deliver devastating firepower at a moment's notice. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection documenting the history of World War Two, providing a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who manned these powerful weapons. The 25 pdr gun played a significant role in the Allied victory, and this image serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit and the critical importance of artillery in modern warfare.
