		However the 25 pdr was nevertheless considered by all to be one of the best artillery pieces in use, and in particular its HE round was particularly deadly due to excellent embrittlement of the metal casing.
		Often referred to as the 18/25 pdr, the majority of these were lost in the early campaigns of the war in Norway.

	Ordnance QF 2 pounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ordnance QF 2-pounder (or simply "2 pounder gun")was a 40 mm British gun used both as an anti-tank gun and to equip British tanks of the early part of the Second World War.
		The gun was a QF design built by the Royal Ordnance.
		As such during the fighting in North Africa, the Army had to use the 2 pounder as best the could, aided by the 25 pounder gun-howitzer functioning as an anti-tank gun - a role for which it was capable though at the expense of taking it away from its main artillery role.

		Britain's most promising anti-tank gun was the excellent 17 pdr., and in 1942 a chassis for a self-propelled version was needed.
		Simply installing the gun in a new turret proved unfeasible due to the gun's length, so modification of the chassis was undertaken.

		Immediately after the end of the war, Indian Field Regiments 1 and 2 were equipped with Sextons while other regiments received towed guns and many of these saw action in Jammu and Kashmir.
		While all weapon systems undergo some degree of modification over their service life, either to enhance performance when new technology becomes available or to rectify problems encountered in the field, a few are so extensively modified that they are almost unrecognisable to the original.
		A good example of this is the Ordnance QF 25-pdr Short (Aust) Mk I on Carriage Light (Aust) Mks I and II.
