220 - The Archer: Reversing to Victory

Published: March 22, 2024, 6 a.m.

From late 1944, an ungainly piece of equipment was introduced into service in the British and Canadian armies. Referred to at the time as the \u2018Valentine 17-pounder SP\u2019, and later as the \u2018Archer\u2019, it was a tracked vehicle with an open compartment at the front and a large gun facing to the rear.

Joining me to tell the story of the Archer's development is loyal patron of the show, and author of \u2018Self Propelled 17 Pounder - Archer\u2019, Christopher Camfield.
