60-pounder

The British 60-pounder was a medium 5 inch (127 mm) artillery gun designed in 1904. The 60-pounder was the mainstay of British medium artillery during the First World War, being operated by batteries of the Royal Garrison Artillery and used mainly for counter-battery fire. It could fire a 60 lb (27.3 kg) shell 10,300 yards (9.4 km). Weighting 4.4 tonnes, the 60-pounder required a team of 12 horses to move it. Later modifications added another tonne to the gun's weight such that it could only be towed by a caterpillar tractor. The 60-pounder remained in use by the British Army until 1944.
