The interwar period was fairly sparse on new acquisitions for the Cdn Army. The guns have the Martin Perry conversion to the rubber tires from the 1930s, and were training guns early in the war. I am a little surprised to still see them in 42, but I suppose the basic artillery skills could be learned on them without having to tie up a 25pr gun needed for the war.
