Birch Gun, 1925
This is the first type of Birch Gun, issued to 28th Field Battery of IX Field Brigade Royal Artillery for trials. The second version is modt easily recognisable by having a gun shiled. The third and final version had a circular barbette providing the crew with all round protection.
These two other versions are illustrated in other posts.
