Here we see an elaborate gun emplacement for an 18-pounder field gun, prepared by the 120th Battery, Royal Field Artillery, on the Somme. Under this timber, earth and metal roof is a sizable dugout, large enough to contain the actual gun.
Many thanks to Pen & Sword for providing us with these pictures, which come from Richard van Emden's The Somme: The Epic Battle in the Soldier's own Words and Photographs
