Historical Information

The 20-pounder gun (84 mm caliber), officially designated as the QF 20-pounder, was one of the main artillery pieces of the British Army after World War II. It was fitted to tanks such as the Centurion Mk 3 and Mk 5 and used by the armed forces of Great Britain and Commonwealth countries. An example of its use is the Korean conflict, where Centurions armed with the 20-pdr. effectively supported UN forces. It was in service from the late 1940s until the late 1950s, when it was replaced by the 105 mm L7 gun.
