British 2.75 inch mountain gun walkaround - image heavy!

Walkaround of the lovely little 2.75 inch mountain gun - used by British and Empire forces, mainly in Palestine and Salonika but at least one battery served a short while in France. I can send original sized photos to anyone interested of this and the other guns I have posted up tonight. My great-grandad was a mountain gunner with 4th (Highland) Mountain Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery, who used them in Salonika (although I think he left the unit by then, but was on 10 pounders at Gallipoli)

Here's a few more, taken on exactly the same day a year previously as the above ones (and with the shield at the correct full extension)
