Sexton

self-propelled gun

A Canadian-built self-propelled 25-pounder gun-howitzer on the Ram tank chassis (Grizzly-hulled in the Mark II), the Sexton let British and Canadian field artillery keep pace with fast-moving armoured columns instead of being left behind on tow, providing mobile fire support through the Normandy breakout.
