A Field Howitzer is a type of artillery designed for mobile warfare. It has a short barrel and can fire shells at a high angle, making it effective for hitting targets behind obstacles. This versatility allows it to support infantry troops on the battlefield, providing crucial firepower during combat. Field howitzers were widely used in various conflicts, including World War I and World War II. They are often towed by vehicles, making them easier to move across different terrains. Notable examples include the M114 howitzer and the QF 25-pounder, both of which played significant roles in military history.
