Brought the wrong book was after the 61st Medium Regiment not the 61st Field Regiment brought the book from America in very good condition if any ones interested let me know
Found this online seems to fit the bill. No pictures of it though. The gun on the cover is a 25 pounder. Anti-Tank used a one-piece shell/cartridge. The 25 pounder as shown on the cover has a shell with a separate cartridge. The man on the right of the picture is the rammer who rams the shell into place before the loader places the cartridge. Gunners of the 61st a record of the 61st Field Regiment, R.A. (later the 61st Super Heavy Regiment, R.A.) during the defeat of the German forces in N.W. Europe, 1944-1945
No, the Medium regiments had large field artillery pieces. Not actually 25 pounders but I think the larger 5.5" guns.
