An 8 inch MkVI Howitzer of the 1st Australian Siege Battery (aka 54th Siege Battery) at full recoil after firing one of its 90kg/200lb shells, up to a maximum range of 12,300yds / 11.2km. Note that the cut-out in its 'box trail' accommodates the full length recoil. The box or sometimes a split trail, allows maximum elevation and full recoil of the breech / barrel assembly on firing and is a defining feature of howitzers. These images were taken by renowned photographers Frank Hurley and George (later Sir Hubert) Wilkins. See the video link in the sidebar.
