Description

THE THIRD BATTLE OF YPRES
Battle of Polygon Wood : Loading a 15-inch howitzer Mk I
Comment : The IWM incorrectly describes this as a Mk II, but there was no Mk II. It also incorrectly describes the men as from the Royal Garrison Artillery. In fact the gun was operated throughout the war by the Royal Marine Artillery.
