Description

THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE 1940
The barrel of a 12-inch howitzer of No. 2 Super Heavy Battery, Royal Artillery, on a railway flatcar at Dunkirk, having been transported from England on a cross-channel ferry, 20 March 1940.


Comment : The IWM incorrectly captions this as a 9.2 inch howitzer barrel. This photograph provides a clear view of how the components of the howitzer were transported on separate wheeled travelling carriages.
Date Taken on 20 March 1940
