The Ordnance QF 25-pounder Short was an Australian variant of the British Ordnance QF 25-pounder field gun/howitzer. The gun was developed by modifying the 25-pounder’s design to improve its mobility during jungle warfare. Development began in 1942 and the weapon first entered service with the Australian Army the next year.
