Bildegalleri av en QF 25pdr II feltpistol, The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was the major British field gun and howitzer during World War II. It was introduced into service just before the war started, combining high-angle and direct-fire, relatively high rates of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece. It remained the British Army’s primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth of Nations countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s and ammunition for the weapon is currently being produced by Pakistan Ordnance Fac. The Mark II: montert på I-vognen var standardkanonen under andre verdenskrig. De ble bygget i Australia og Canada, men for det meste i Storbritannia. Leveranser (fra britisk produksjon) startet i begynnelsen av 1940 og ble først tatt i bruk med et kanadisk regiment stasjonert i Storbritannia i mai 1940. Ingen ammunisjon 25-pr Mk 2 på vogn 25-pr 1 gikk tapt i Frankrike. Denne pistolen avfyrte alle ladninger, 1 – 3 og Super. I 1942 ble en munningsbrems montert på kanonen for å eliminere ustabiliteten forårsaket når man avfyrte 20 lb AP-granaten med Charge Super ved direkte ild i lave høydevinkler. For å bevare kanonens balanse på tappene ble det også montert en motvektsvekt, rett foran seteringen. Betegnelsen på den modifiserte kanonen ble ikke endret. Til slutt ble alle våpen som tjenestegjorde i Europa konvertert på denne måten.
