Lla Obusier britannique de 9,2 pouces was a powerful weapon that played a crucial role in World War I. It was designed to counter the German heavy artillery and to destroy enemy fortifications and trenches. The Howitzer had a long barrel that could fire a 290-pound shell up to 13,935 yards with a high trajectory. The Howitzer was transported in three parts and assembled on a steel platform that was anchored to the ground.
The Howitzer was operated by a crew of 10 men and required careful aiming and loading. The British 9.2 inch Howitzer was nicknamed « Mère » d’après le prototype de canon qui a été utilisé pour la première fois en France en octobre 1914. L’obusier s’est avéré très efficace et fiable, et a été largement utilisé par les Britanniques et leurs alliés jusqu’à la fin de la guerre.
