BRITAIN'S NEWEST GUN
AID TO EIGHTH ARMY London, Jan. 24. Details have been issued of Britain's newest self propelled gun, a 10 smm. howitzer, nicknamed "The Priest," which, as a reply to the German 8 Bmm. anti-tank gun, put the Allies ahead in the Eighth Army's campaign. The gun is mounted on a General Grant chassis, which also carries a one-pounder anti-aircraft gun. It is recalled that Mr Churchill last November disclosed that large numbers of high velocity self propelled guns were sent to Egypt by the United States.
