Summary
[edit]DescriptionHowitzer firing (4688665338).jpg |
English: Howitzer gun firing, Messines, Belgium, 1917. This image shows a British BL 8-inch howitzer Mk I – V being fired. The scene is shrouded in smoke or mist and there is a shell lying in the foreground. The British-designed howitzer was widely used by both the British and Canadians. An extremely large piece of weaponry, the gun had a high angle of fire, as opposed to the low trajectory of a field gun. In order to be effective it had to be fired close to enemy lines. The Battle of Messines Ridge (June 1917), commanded by General Plumer (1837-1922), successfully relieved German pressure on the French Army. After the war Plumer was made Lord Plumer of Messines. |
