Minnie, Great Britain, 18pdr Gun Q.F.:
This gun appeared in 1904 as a result of combat experience in South Africa during the Boer War. By 1914, it was the standard gun of the British and Commonwealth armies. This particular piece is a modified 18pdr. It was produced in the U.S, for the Canadian Army using 75mm shells rather than the more standard 18 pound shells. |
