Image description: British Official Photographer; Unknown British Official Photographer/Howitzers; 9.2 inch gunsDate confirmed by Corporal Frank Beagley in 1985. Mr Beagley had offered us a small version of the image, that he'd purchased in 1918, for the collection. It looked familiar to all of us but took an hour or two to realize that there was a 1.5 meter by 1 meter mounted version prominently displayed in the section.
