EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a British 15 inch Howitzer, one of the twelve siege guns designed by Admiral Bacon, a Director of the Coventry Ordnance Works, during the First World War. The howitzer, which dates back to circa 1915, was the largest and heaviest gun used by the British army during the conflict. Its impressive size and power made it a formidable weapon on the Western Front. Admiral Bacon's design was a significant advancement in artillery technology, as it was a breech-loading gun, meaning it could be loaded faster than the muzzle-loading guns that were commonly used at the time. The first two of these guns arrived on the Western Front in February 1915, and ten of them were eventually deployed. However, the howitzers proved to be unwieldy, requiring three steam tractors to move each one. Despite their size and weight, they were highly effective in providing long-range fire support for the British forces. The 15 inch Howitzer fired a 152.4 kg (336 lb) shell with an explosive charge of 45.4 kg (100 lb), making it a devastating weapon on the battlefield. This photograph provides a glimpse into the technological advancements and the challenges faced by the British army during the First World War. The 15 inch Howitzer was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and military personnel who designed and operated it, and it played a crucial role in the British war effort on the Western Front.
