Description

Photograph of British 60 pounder Mk I Gun being towed at speed - note blurred wheels, cloud of dust, trotting horses, anxious appearance of crew.
The steel traction engine wheels identify this as a Mk II carriage.
The caption in "Kaiserschlacht 1918" by Randal Gray correctly describes this scene as occurring during the British retreat forced by the German attack on the Somme of March 1918. The gun is incorrectly described as a Mk II in the book.


The caption in "The Times History of the War" 1919 incorrectly described the scene as "British Guns Going Forward".
