Description

THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME 1 JULY - 18 NOVEMBER 1916
A 15 inch howitzer is loaded (the 15 inch howitzers were the heaviest of the British guns but there were only six on the 18 miles of the battlefront).


Comment : This photograph illustrates the use of the special ammunition wagon, but it appears unable to approach the gun from directly behind, so the shell hoist is still required to transfer the shell to the loading tray.
