	Juno Beach Centre - Self-Propelled Artillery
		The self-propelled artillery piece (SP), marrying the fire-power of the field gun to the mobility of the tank, first appeared during the Great War and was developed further during the inter-war years.
		Sextons were widely used within 21st Army Group during the campaign in Northwest Europe after July 1944 when the 25-pdr replaced the American 105 mm SP, called the "Priest".
		The conversion to Sextons rendered the 2nd Canadian Corps' Priests superfluous, and the latter were modified to be used as Kangaroos during Operation Totalize, 7-10 August 1944, in what was the first practical use of the armoured personnel carrier in combat.
