first world war crescent

.upnaway the ex gunner of the artillery painted these.I love his work and always take a look at his site. Crescent produced the artillery piece below and the plastic soldiers but never got around to the Germans facing them. So maybe Peter Cole could do Germans of the same scale. These Crescent guns are readily avaible on the net at low prices but I don't know if the scale is true 54mm.

The Ordnance QF 18 pounder, or simply 18-pounder Gun, was the standard British Army field gun of the World War I era. It formed the backbone of the Royal Field Artillery during the war, and was produced in large numbers. It was also used by British and Commonwealth Forces in all the main theatres, and by British troops in Russia in 1919. Its calibre (84 mm) and hence shell weight were greater than those of the equivalent field guns in French (75 mm) and German (77 mm) service. It was generally horse drawn until mechanisation in the 1930s.




The first versions were introduced in 1904 and later versions remained in service with British forces until early 1942. During the interwar period the 18-pounder formed the basis of early versions of the equally famous Ordnance QF 25 pounder, which would form the basis of the British artillery forces during and after World War II, in much the same fashion as the 18-pounder had during World War I.
