Following the heavy losses of US equipment in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, Britain loaned 100 25-pdrs and 300,000 rounds of ammunition to temporarily equip US field artillery battalions until additional supplies arrived from the United States. Many of these were used in batallions of the US Ninth Army, which at the time was attached to Montgommery's 21st Army Group.
