Hi Steve,

thanks for the pics, I have noticed that the photo of the gun on the panel shows the 380mm gun at Chuignes in the Somme and not at Duzey, however both were 380mm guns. It seems that there's a lots of remains around the site at Duzey, concrete construction and ammunition tunnels, etc... whereas there's nothing left at Chuignes:; I have explored in depth the wood (still called "bois du gros canon") and couldn't find anything like at Duzey. I was just wondering why ? lack of time ?

Hi

sorry to revive such an old thread, but can anyone confirm the exact site of where the Chuignes gun was?

I believe it was in one of the small strip woodlands just west of the village, but which one?

thanks in advance.
