Cole, published by: OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, WASHINGTON, D.C., 1965, or any of the other volumes of the above mentioned make any reference to "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..."
