Hi all,

I think the three guns at center and right background are all captured Dutch pieces. The Dutch used ex-British 6-inch howitzers as the 15 cm hw L15 Vickers, 28 of them equipped 15RA in 1940. The gun at right background is a 10-veld, or Bofors 10.5cm M1927, and between them appears to be a 7-veld. In the left background is what appears to be a modernized French 75mm M1897 with part of its shield missing.

Thank you, David.

Sturm78, the second picture is a Royal Navy 4in QF Mk V in HA Mk III (or subsequent) mounting. The Hydro-pneumatic recuperator over the breech, the trainer's platform, training receiver, and mounting base match the diagram in John Campbell's "Naval Weapons of World War Two".

I believe you are right about the first picture , 3in 20 cwt AA gun, but it looks like a static mount (no working platform), not a mobile carriage.

The guns are indeed British and (I think) are QF 4-inch Mk IV.

I agree: BL 4-inch Mk. IX.
