Footnotes

1. Ordnance, QF, 25–pounder Mk.I, Mk.II and Mk.III. Source: Jentz, Thomas L: Tank Combat in North Africa. The calibre is actually 87.6mm and is confusingly rounded down to 87mm in many publications. The Mk.I was commonly referred to as the 18/25–pounder as it was mounted on the 18–pounder gun carriage. [up]
