Operational Service:

V Sexton was first used in combat in Italy by the British Eighth Army. It later participated in the invasion of France, the Battle of Normandy, and the campaign in northwest Europe. During the D-Day landings, some Sextons were ordered to fire from their landing craft as they approached the beaches, although the fire was not very accurate. After the war, a number of units were equipped with the Sexton as part of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR).

The Sexton was generally regarded as a successful project and remained in British service until 1956. Between 1943 and 1945, the Montreal Locomotive Works manufactured 2,150 Sextons for use by Canadian and British forces.
