RGA railway gun watercolour

[shaunhullis]

Winchester College has been bequeathed a watercolour of a railway gun in action under gas attack on March 21st 1918. The gun has the number 379 visible on its rear right. We possess the following details:

Title: "Artillery, March 21, 1918"

Painted by A. Gladys Holman.

Watercolour, signed lower left. Inscribed on reverse: "A.G. Holman, 107 Ladbroke Grove W11. Drawn from personal narrative of Lieut. W.M. Holman R.G.A. No.27 in Royal Artillery Exhibition R.I. 1919"

Can anybody supply any information - for example, what unit this gun or Lt. Holman belonged to - so that we can research its background properly and thus provide a meaningful label?

I attach a copy; a larger version is available on request (though not for publication without permission).

Thanks,

Shaun
