    Apparently this was a 7.5in (190mm) Mk. III naval gun used on a static siege mount to shell Nieuport in Belgium. 14 of them were salvaged from the pre-dreadnaught battleship Swiftsure when it was decommissioned in 1917, with some going to coastal defense in Britain and a few for siege work in Belgium along the coast there. However, I must confess that this gun looks larger than 7.5 inch, perhaps a 9.2 inch or even a 12 inch spare barrel for a rail road gun.

    Not so much a tractor, something that hardly existed at the time, more a steam-powered traction engine.

    that gun isn't big enough. they should go back to base and try harder.
  • Max Schmitt said:
    It's only the barrel.

    It Appears to be a Foster Daimler tractor, a 105hp petrol engine driving through a reverse cone clutch and gearbox, with 2 forward speeds and one reverse, , the same sleeve valve engine went on to power the early tanks www.alamy.com/soldiers-with-a-daimler-foster-tractor-ww1-...

    The howitzer is the ubiquitous Vickers designed and built BL 6 inch (152mm) 26 cwt. (hundredweight) Mk. 1 field howitzer.
