British 6inch Gun

Lynn,

Yes, you may well be correct: I'd based it on the latter period without double checking, so my comments appear to be wrong. Land Service sounds good! The term is also part of the expanded nomenclature of the period, eg 'Ordnance QF 25 Pdr Mark 2 on Carriage, 25 pdr MK.1 Land Service'. The date of this reference is 1940, so right within the period we are talking about.

So, scratch my previous second paragraph - or apply only to later equipment!!

Mea Culpa

Re the FAT mentioned earlier as the towing platform for the Aust. 6inch .... herewith an image. Rod
PS: also used in recovery work as a Breakdown (Aust.) No. 3A where it sported a heavy weight steel boom protruding from the rear.
