Warwicks Posted 5 February , 2012 Share Posted 5 February , 2012 I wondered if anyone has the original drawings for the 13 pounder QF artillery piece used extensively during 1914 by the British? I have plenty of images, however I'm looking for actual measurements/dimensions, I've contacted the IWM but had no reply. If you know where I could get such information then I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted 5 February , 2012 Share Posted 5 February , 2012 You could try the Kings Troop RHA, based at Woolwich - I think - they use 13 pdrs for ceremonial and their engineering supporters, probably a civilian outfit these days, might be inclined to help.

Sepoy Posted 6 February , 2012 Share Posted 6 February , 2012 Not quite the 13 Pounder QF, but the original British Army Handbook for the 18 Pounder can be downloaded via Archives.Org http://www.archive.org/details/HandbookOfThe18-pr.Q.f.Gun-LandService Hope this is of interest.
