Description

Photograph of captured German 17 cm Minenwerfer a/A (early short-barrel model of 1913) on its wheeled traveling carriage, World War I.


The sign attached to the weapon indicates it has been captured by a Brigade of the RFA (British Royal Field Artillery) with the actual Brigade number erased, presumably by the military censor. Hence the caption below stating it was captured by the French can be disregarded.
Date circa. 1915-1918
