AWM photo caption: Right 3/4 front view of the prototype SP 25-pdr Yeramba; a self-propelled 25 Pounder gun mounted on a modified M3 General Grant tank chassis. (Official name: Ordnance, Quick Firing, 25 pdr Mark 2/1, on Mounting Self propelled 25 pdr (AUST) Mark 1, on Carrier, Grant, Self Propelled 25 pdr (AUST) Mark 1.) It is fitted with Australian developed applique armour over the transmission housing. A set of pioneer equipment and a length of spare track were carried in the frontal armour. The Yeramba's 25 Pounder gun was fitted with a muzzle brake and counter-weight, the first time in Australian service that the 25 Pounder was so fitted. (Field guns were not fitted with muzzle breaks until the 1960's.) Australian designed and developed, the prototype Yeramba was made in 1949 at the Development and Proving Establishment, Monegeetta. After development trials were conducted at Greytown Range, a production run of 13 was undertaken by the Ordnance Factory, Bendigo, during 1951-52. The Yerambas were used by the 22 Field Regiment SP (self-propelled), a Victorian based Royal Australian Artillery Unit, until the Yeramba was declared obsolete and withdrawn from service in 1956.
