Untitiled

[edit]

Considering that the title has (artillery) in it, I hardly think anyone would get this confused with another reference to the word/name Bishop or look it up while trying to find something else. Best to leave the disambiguation notice on Bishop only. Oberiko 12:25, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Designation

[edit]
Anyone got a credible source on where that designation has came from, because my source says different. King nothing 13:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You mean Ordnance QF 25-pdr on Carrier Valentine 25-pdr Mk 1 ? AFAIR from Henry, Fuller - The 25-pounder Field Gun 1939-72. Bukvoed 14:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I checked... the aforementioned book says the designation was 25-pounder Mk I on Carrier, Valentine, 25-pdr, Mk I. Is it what your source says ? Bukvoed 06:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carrier, Valentine, 25pdr gun Mk I, Bishop King nothing 14:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Afrikakorps.org is copying Wikipedia and puts its copyright on it... [1] Chaoborus (talk) 05:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Clarification Needed

[edit]

From the article:

It was replaced in service by the M7 Priest (105 mm) and Sexton (25-pounder) when those became available in sufficient numbers, and surviving Bishops were diverted for artillery use

It's not clear what diverted for artillery use means, when the Bishop was already a self-propelled artillery piece. Catsmeat (talk) 09:41, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
