Hello hbtoday98, can you provide a bigger picture than just the trail?
The 15pdrs were used in New Zealand in the early 1900s to replace the 9pdr 6cwt that had been used since 1880. The 15pdrs was itself replaced in 1911 by the 18pdr and the 4.5 Howitzer. (The 15pdrs were eventually given to cadets units for training purposes)
The 15pdr you have pictured looks to be in bad shape, and appears to me to be a MkIV carriage?
Motat used to have a 15pdr in bad shape, as did Eastland Museum of Technology, where was the photo taken?
