Note the tank on the skyline.

I think it's a farmhouse over the ridge.

Always concerning when the gun crew has to have gas masks ready. Counter battery fire has a long reach . . . The dial site is a thing of beauty - I wonder what happened to it?

They look like well fed sturdy lads! When and where was this photo taken?

There appears to be a few graves there by the look of it.

I'm no expert on these matters, but it looks like they are wearing the SBR (small box respirator) haversack, which was introduced in 1916. Weather appears warm ( at least one of the crew has tanned lower arms), therefore spring/ summer 1916 onwards?
