Can anyone help identify this gun in the photo? I know it's not a great photo and there a signpost in the way but I'm hoping someone with eagle eyes might be able to assist?
The photo is from the 1920s/30s taken at Hove RNVR parade ground. It's for an interesting article on local history by Judy Middleton-

From the size and shape I would say it is a WW I German 210 MM M1916 Morser. Almost as interesting are the gun barrels projecting from the RNVR gun drill hall at the left.

Thank you Roland, I think you're probably correct there. Even more interesting for me, there used to be a 10.5cm SMS Koenigsberg gun on the other side of the parade ground!
