British 4.5 inch field howitzer battery in action in Mesopotamia.
Oct 26 1917
The camouflaged positions occupied by Australian 4.5 howitzers from which they assisted in the last fight for the Passchendaele Ridge that commenced on 26 October 1917. The 1st Australian Division was associated with Canadian and British Divisions in this, 'the culminating effort of a battle which had lasted through three and a half months of disastrous weather, producing conditions of warfare, the difficulty and misery of which had never been equalled'. This water-soaked area is typical of the major portion of the Ypres sector in the last six months of 1917. The limbers of a field gun are visible near the road (centre right). Note in the foreground a duckboard track and in the background a patch of denuded trees. - AWM E04591

were howitzers a thing on 18th century ships at all? i was looking around for info about ship mortars and had the thought of howitzers not needing built up decks to use, but i have only come across the russian licorne from the early 1800s
Hi, oh….you got me but that’s a subject I haven’t dealt with yet. What I have found however to this topic is this :
In the 18th century the Carronade developed, first as additional armament on liner ships and frigates, later also as main armament on sloops and corvettes. The navies of the European mainland did not internalize the new principle of the Carronade at first, the French used for example howitzer-like Obusiers (which they developed in the 17th century). The navies of the Baltic Sea developed a kind of short-tube weapon with large caliber, which were set up almost like turning bassin. They looked like a cross between a howitzer and a swivel. This type of “howitzer” possessed smaller calibers of about 3 or 4 pounds and was used as a liner at the railing or in the Marses of ships. Its name probably originated only from the similarity with the short tubes of the land artillery, not from its area of application (among other things shells and archery). These guns were able to fire bullets and cartridges.
Swedish howitzer after Chapman, 1768.
as I said, i haven’t really dealt with this topic yet, i’m sorry, but maybe it helps you a bit.
