Description
View of a damaged 18 pounder gun of the 25th Battery of Australian Field Artillery temporarily abandoned in Zonnebeke Valley, south of Abraham Heights. This gun was put out of action during the Passchendaele operations, and was withdrawn with great difficulty owing to the boggy state of the ground. Note the wheels are partly buried in the mud.
