Posted this in References too, listed under the "Somme Area" set in http://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/

Captioned as "Big Bertha", obviously not, being turntable mounted, so what is it?

Looks like the mounting for a 38cm SKL/45 gun. These were battleship barrels released for land service.

Lots more at http://html2.free.fr/canons/canmax.htm (French language).

Regards,

Charlie

Hi,

it looks like the site of Chuignes in France.
The cut-off barrel is a give-away.

Regards,

Arjen

Hi,

in the last picture, the shell is a 38 cm Schr. (schrapnel)

Regards,
