Re: Id. british gun
This a British 11 inch Anti Submarine Howitzer. There were about 207 of them produced beginning in 1917. It fired a 600 lb stick projectile to a range of 600 yards. The projectile had 300 lbs of explosive and it was designed for an accurate under.water trajectory. There was also a 7.5 ASW weapon whit the same mission.

Do you have any information about this weapon ? It is in my archives labeled as Beyer Peacock bomb thrower.
I looking for in the net but with no results except that Beyer Peacock was a British manufacturer of locomotives...

Re: Id. british gun
Sorry
What I posted was all I could find. However I have found a 1943 Janes which shows the 11 IN ASW with a Mark I designation. The previous Info came from "NAVAL WEAPONS OF WW I", Norman Friedman, Seaforth Publishers, 2011.

Nobody for my last image ?
Well, here another image from the same source.
An 152mm 6in British naval gun used from a railcar during Boer War. Any idea about the exact model ?

Re: Id. british gun
Hi all,
I am not sure about this gun. I think an 152mm 6in Mk.VII field gun. Is the big handwheel of the left side typical of this model ?

Re: Id. british gun
Hi all,
Are this gun a British 18pdr (83mm) gun or an 75mm ex-US M1917 gun ?
Are this wheel metal disc model and the pattern of the pneunatic tyres an indicator of his US origin ??

According to the sources these US-built guns arrived to England after Dunkirk retreat in June 1940 and the guns were only used for Home Defence and training...
