4thGordons Posted 3 May , 2008 Share Posted 3 May , 2008 This is detail from a group shot. What is the equipment behind the gun (and in front of the band-stand!) I assume it is related to the unit pictured? Thanks in advance, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted 3 May , 2008 Share Posted 3 May , 2008 Chris, As a guess I would say a Gun mounting and its cradle without the barrel, 60 pounder. Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thGordons Posted 3 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2008 Thanks very much. (incredibly quick too!) Here is the whole picture. On the back is written Vimy 23/1/1919 This was taken at the "place" at Vimy. It shows the guns and some of the men of our section of the battery. We didn't have the bandstand with us at the front.
