I know this will be more tantalising than helpful but a couple of years ago, I found a similar photo showing US army personnel using 25 pounders and trawled the internet for answers.
Now my first thought was that it started a thread on MLU but I have searched and can find nothing so it must have been on some other forum. I kept all the replies in a file which unfortunately was lost in a major computer crash. So much for being unhelpful, the tantalising bit is that a couple of replies stated that the US army did, in a small way, use the 25 pdr. and even quoted battery numbers. I think (could be wrong - usually I am) that the reason quoted was that there was a sudden shortage of ammo. for the 105mms. and that as a temporary measure the British guns were loaned to the Americans. I apologise for being so vague but I would love to rediscover the truth behind all this. Best regards Gerry McGinty
