About the Ordnance QF 4.5 inch Howitzer

Among the technological advancements of the First World War, nations set out to produce modern artillery that could be used against fortified positions. The stalemate on the Western Front found designers trying to produce a weapon that could dislodge soldiers from their trenches. The British 4.5 inch howitzer was among the wide variety of artillery produced to accomplish this goal. These guns would see continued use through the Second World War and would be completely phased out in 1944. 

Specifications:

• Caliber: 4.5 inch (114mm)
• Projectile weight: 35lbs (15.87 kg)
