M7 Priest SP Artillery

The American M7 Priest mounted a 105mm howitzer in an open fighting compartment on a tank-derived chassis. It provided mobile artillery able to support armored formations and became widely used by United States and Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. The prominent machine-gun pulpit inspired the Priest nickname. Its fire-support role differed from that of an anti-tank vehicle, even though it shared components and battlefield mobility with contemporary armored forces. A 105mm howitzer mounted on an American tank-derived chassis gave artillery crews protected mobility and an open workspace. The conspicuous machine-gun pulpit inspired the Priest nickname. Commonwealth use and later postwar service extended its career, while ammunition support remained essential to sustaining the firepower that mechanized formations expected.
