I seems Mark W Tonner has his doubts, but Steven J Zaloga is most of the time very well informed and official publications are not always as complete or correct as they pretend.
An example are the official lists of the "Quantities of Lend-Lease Shipments"
I can not find deliveries of 105 mm howitzers on those lists, while I know for sure a lot were delivered by lend-lease.
I have no doubts as to Steve Zaloga's findings and I am well aware that 'official publications' sometimes leave much to be desired, I just merely meant that I find it surprising that the supply of 25 pounders to Americans has never popped up before in anything that I've read or studied.

Cheers
