Editors Comment:
Photograph of a QF 4.7" gun: originally a naval weapon, it is here mounted on a Mk I 'Woolwich' carriage for land service, a stop-gap measure before the widespread availability of purpose built heavy artillery. Caption reads: 'Australian Heavy Gun at Work', '"Daily Mail" | Official Photograph | Crown Copyright Reserved'.
