Recon

Army: British
Period: Late War


By the end of July 1944 the US were running into shortages of 105mm howitzer ammunition and requested that British and Canadian forces stop using the 105mm armed M7 Priest to help alleviate the shortages. This left British and Canadian forces with substantial numbers of M7 Priest no longer in use. Lieutenant-General Guy Simonds, commander of the II Canadian Corps, devised a way of utilising these spare vehicles as troop carriers as a way giving transport to advancing infantry and reducing infantry losses with armoured protection.

Flame-throwers pose many risks to the operator. They are heavy and impair mobility, they are highly visible when fired, and the operators were often targets of reprisals and rarely survived to be taken prisoner. A Flame-thrower's effective range is short in comparison with that of other battlefield firearms meaning the operators would often have to get close to targets exposing themselves to close range enemy fire.
