A genuine combat veteran
So I see the pic has a shield in place: was your dad with 2/1 Aust Field Regt? They were supplied with the early version of the 25pdr (Short) for trials in early 1943, which included the shield.
As for the numbers, they have a meaning and are not the gun's registration number, but the Unit Serial Number (USN). The USN 61032 was the USN for 2/1st Aust Field Regiment (Jungle Scale), so I think without any doubt, your 25pdr (Short) is a combat veteran. Mike C
