Wrecked 15cm railway gun at Montreuil

Here we see the remains of a German 15cm railway gun that was destroyed by RAF aircraft at Montreuil, in the Pas-de-Calais. This is probably a 15cm Kanone in Eisenbahnlafette (15cm K (E)) judging by what can be seen of the railway carriage (in particular the two metal panels close to the ground just under the wrecked gun). However it could also be the very similar 17cm K (E), which had the same basic fuselage but with a bigger gun.
