Skipped over the new Italian Guns!
4a. Cannone da 25/72 AT: This is the Canon Antichar de 25 SA-L mle 34 (French Ordnance Note 5). Several were captured in North Africa and pressed into service. Although heavier than the issued ATR (Italian Ordnance Note 3) it was found to be easy to use by troops trained on that weapon.
Having been designed to be towed behind horses, it was found that the gun could not withstand athe stresses of a vehicular tow so was normally carried en portee.
† This gun may be fired while en portee.
