Numbers

[Mike Cecil]

I see you aimed the display at Parliament House, rather than the High Court!! It would have to be a toss-up, wouldn't it?

He's not alone: when I interviewed several gunners back in the '80s (before the first Profile was written) it became quickly evident that the 'Guns, QF, 25-pdr (Short)' were almost universally despised by gunners who had the misfortune to have to use them.
(The Jungle Scale regiments, usually one Battery per Regiment, the other batteries being equipped with the un-modified 25-pdr.)

Were you aware your gun was a combat veteran? Will you mark it as 2/1 Aust Fd Regt?
