An unidentified British soldier standing with a 9.2 inch howitzer Mk I, named Berdameda, which was supporting the Australians on the Somme. The camouflaged box in front of the gun 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. Hanging on the side of the box is a horseshoe. Note in the background (left) a timber structure, probably an observation tower and rows of shells in front of the structure. Place made: France: Picardie, Somme Corbie |
