Hello, just one quick question:

When was the 17 pdr taken out of service? I can find no information on it anywhere. Thanks!

From memory, the Archer SPG remained in service into the 1950s. So did the Achilles, a British version of the M10 rearmed with the 17 pdr

Yo, Spiked

I was already aware that the Archer was in service to at least 1950, the achilles I'm not too fussed about. What about the actual 17pdr AT field gun?
