BL 15-inch howitzer
The Ordnance BL 15-inch howitzer was developed by the Coventry Ordnance Works late in 1914 in response to the success of its design of the 9.2-inch siege howitzer.
The howitzer was cumbersome to deploy, since it was transported in several sections by giant Foster-Daimler 105 horsepower tractors.
