Description
A 6 Inch 26 CWT Mark I Howitzer. One of a battery which participated in the Third Battle of Ypres. Attached to the outer circumference of the wheels are 'pedrails' (sometimes referred to as girdles). These are removable pads which are connected to each other, much as in a tank track, and allow the gun to be moved over soft or muddy ground without sinking in.
