An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/t9ln_EbmcSHrBZziiWPG4g==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Ordnance BLC 15 pounder gun (BLC stood for BL Converted) was a modernised version of the obsolete BL 15 pounder 7 cwt gun, incorporating a recoil and recuperator mechanism above the barrel and modified quicker-opening breech. It was developed to provide Territorial Force artillery brigades with a reasonably modern field gun without incurring the expense of equipping them with the modern 18 pounder. It is the gun which writers usually mean by "15 pounder gun" in World War I, but can be confused with the earlier Ordnance QF 15 pounder which fired the same shell.
