The 25 pounder Short Mark I, or Baby 25 pr, was an Australian pack gun version of the British Ordnance QF 25 pounder and was first produced in 1943. This gun was a shortened version of the standard 25 Pounder and was intended for jungle warfare and was used in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, during World War II. The gun could be towed by a light vehicle or broken down into 13 sections.
