Description

Photograph of British QF 12 pounder 18 cwt naval gun on improvised field carriage, East African campaign, World War I.
Back of photo reads : "7th SAI with Heavy Gun".


The wheels with 8 circle cutouts are typical of those constructed at the Salt River railway workshops, Cape Town. The gun is believed to be one of a group which arrived from Malta with the first contingent of the Royal Marine Artillery in Cape Town in Oct / Nov 1914 - possibly becoming "D" Battery (Roper) in the campaign in German South West Africa and then after July 1915 being sent to East Africa.
