Historical and Technical Information

The 17-pdr Mk.I gun was developed in Great Britain in response to the increasing armor protection of German tanks, including the Panther and Tiger. Introduced into service in 1942, it was used by British and Allied forces until the end of World War II. The most famous deployment of the 17-pdr was the Battle of Villers-Bocage and Normandy 1944, where these guns effectively fought heavily armored units of the German armored forces. This gun remained in active service after the war as well, mainly in Commonwealth countries.
