Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Train of the Amiens gun, near Amiens, France, 1918. Haig (front left) and other Allied leaders looking at some piece of machinery taken from the train from which the famous Amiens gun had been used by the Germans to fire on the city of Amiens from a distance of about 16 miles (25 kilometres). The gun, originally a naval gun, had been mounted on a railway carriage.

The Amiens gun had been put out of action by the Royal Air Force on 8 August 1918 and then captured by the Australian infantry. The barrel of the gun is still displayed in Canberra, Australia, at the Australian War Memorial.
[Original reads: 'Train de la piece allemande de 280 sur voie ferre prise par les Australians. Amiens, 18 Aout 1918.']
