David Fletcher looks at the history of the M44 self-propelled howitzer
Cardinal. Who’s heard of that? I came across it in a photograph the other day and on closer inspection, Cardinal turned out to be the British name applied to the M44 self-propelled howitzer, which was quite well-known in its day. Of course, Cardinal fits in with the other names given to selfpropelled guns in British service such as Bishop, Abbot or Priest for instance.
