15 Pounder guns, 1st South Midland Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (TF), Berrow, Somerset, 1911

Photographic postcard by Etches, Weston-super-Mere, 1911

This image shows four 15 Pounder Breech Loading (Converted) guns with which the battery was armed. These guns were obsolete 15 Pounder guns which were fitted with more modern recoil systems and a revised breech. A limber for one of the guns is nearest the camera. These guns provided the Territorial Force Field Artillery units with large numbers of guns, which couldn’t be met by the newer guns that were being produced at the time. Berrow was used for camps and exercises for the Gloucestershire Royal Field Artillery.
