British 15 inch Howitzer used on Western Front, WW1
The first of twelve 15 inch Breech Loading Siege Howitzers constructed from the design of Admiral Bacon, a Director of the Coventry Ordnance Works. Of the twelve made, ten were used on the Western Front during the First World War, the first two arriving in February 1915. The guns proved to be unwieldy, each one needing three steam tractors to move it
