25pdr SP, seurattu, Suntio was a self-propelled artillery vehicle of World War II. It was based on Canadian-built versions of the American M3 Lee and M4 Sherman tank chassis, which entered production in Canada as the Ram and Grizzly. When Sherman production in the US expanded and supply was no longer a problem, in 1943 it was decided to switch the Canadian production lines to produce the Sexton to give the British Army a mobile artillery gun using their Ordnance QF 25 pounder gun-howitzer, which could fire an 87.6 mm (3.45 in) 11.5 kg (25 lb) HE shell or an armour-piercing shell. It found use in the Canadian and British Army, as well as numerous other British Empire and associated forces. Just after the war, a number of Grizzly and Sextons were sold to Portugal, who used them into the 1980s.

Lisätietoja:

The Sexton Self Propelled Gun was a Canadian-designed vehicle that mounted the British 25-pounder gun-howitzer on a modified M3 Lee or M4 Sherman tank chassis. It was developed in 1942 to provide mobile artillery support for the British and Commonwealth forces in World War II, as an alternative to the American M7 Priest that used a different caliber of ammunition. The Sexton was named after a type of church official, following the tradition of naming self-propelled artillery after ecclesiastical titles. The Sexton saw action in various theatres of war, including North Africa, Italy, Normandy and Germany. It had a crew of six, a maximum speed of 25 mph, and could fire up to eight rounds per minute. The Sexton was well-liked by its users for its reliability, accuracy and mobility.
