Grey German 77mm Field Gun with varnished wooden wheels against a background of greenery, beneath a fagpole flying a saltire.
Really pleased to be at Clan Cameron Museum, Achnacarry (that's near Ft William)next Wednesday (27th Aug) to talk about this gem. Captured at Loos by 5th Bn Cameron Highlanders. If you're around do come along (11.00-15.00) - I'll be the lonely nerd standing by the gun. #FWW #WW1 #Greatwargroup #WFA

Fancy a trip to Scotland? A warm welcome awaits in Bonnie Dundee. Our second national conference (1st was 2014). Some big names. Should be a great day and you get to see RRS Discovery. #wfa #FWW #GreatWar #FWW #wfatayside @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social
