File:9.2inchHowitzerCorbieMay1918.jpeg
Summary
Unidentified British gun crews with two camouflaged <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_9.2_inch_Howitzer" class="extiw" title="en:BL 9.2 inch Howitzer">9.2 inch Mk I howitzers</a>, 'Ann' (left) and 'Berdameda' (right) which were presently engaged in supporting the Australian Corps. The box in front of 'Ann' is known as a dirt box, which was filled with soil and attached to the gun to act as a counterweight to the force of the blast and keep the gun in position. On the side of the box are a crown, an anchor and a three leaf clover. Note in the background a timber structure, probably an observation tower.
