Great info Darren, where was this ?? I knew there were at least a couple of survivors, some were in service with the Irish Army.
I have a few photos of captured BEF equipment showing this Mk though the box trail version was the more predominant.
Great to see this historic gun preserved.....what news on the 6" howitzer ?????

I have not seen the 6inch gun since it went away for TLC that it was in great need of. This gun belongs to one of the Garrison members and lives up North I believe. the pictures were taken after it was towed to not so sunny Wiltshire for a day out.

So, still no news.....I believe that when Woolwich closes, their collection will go to Larkhill.
