Many thanks for the ID Roland- cheers Dave

Just wondering if this is the same gun --also pictured on Christmas Island (the one in the Indian Ocean)--which exists today

Best regards,

Dave

The short barrelled one in front is a 75 mm M1914 German AA and the one behind appears to be an 88 MM FLAK 18 German AA.
