English: NLS caption : "British gun going to its position, Ypres, Belgium. This shows a heavy artillery gun being transported along a road towards the Front. The gun, strapped to an eight-wheeled carriage, is being hauled by a tractor with massive tracked back wheels. Heavy artillery guns were difficult and slow to move, so they needed to be manoeuvred into position well before a new offensive. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. THE BATTLE OF FLANDERS. A big British gun going to its position.']". Copmment : The gun appears to be a BL 7.5 inch Mk III naval gun from the decommissioned battleship HMS Swiftsure (1903), being moved into position along the coast in Flanders, 1917. |
