6 Pounder Anti Tank Gun & Crew

The 6 Pounder first saw service in North Africa in 1942 replacing the earlier 2 Pounder anti tank gun. 6 Pounders were supplied to Royal Artillery anti tank regiments of infantry and armoured divisions on the basis of 4 battaries with 12 guns each. By the later stages in the war as 6 Pounders were being replace by 17 Pounders in anti tank units they were then allocated as six gun anti tank platoons attached to infantry divisions.
