Beautiful crisp and clear photo. A proud time for Australia during its infancy, just before nationhood.

Or maybe Mesopotamia? Allied troops, but the gun on the limber looks rather like a German 10 cm field gun with a Krupps breech... but don't trust me on this one, I'm far from sure, there's bound to be someone around who will tie it down for certain, Carol.

I'd guess Boer War? Could be something to do with Robert Baden Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement....? Looks like that type of uniform, but I am not an expert at all in Militaria!

I'd be inclined to agree this smells more Boer War than WW1! The gun could be a Krupps, I thought at first a captured Boer Creusot but the carriage looks unlikely for that.

I may have to eat my words! This looks a lot more like a Creusot Long Tom than British field piece! The carriage is similar also which would make it a captured Boer field piece. These guns played havoc with the British troops and proved to be more than a match for British artillery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/155_mm_Creusot_Long_Tom

It looks like a scene from the end of some sort of action judging by the debris lying around. The horses are also out of harness.
