25pdr. gun drill
Hi Tony:
Greetings from Canada. Referring to my gun drill manual, nothing is listed showing an extreme elevation as displayed in the photograph.
I think the GPO just gave the orders to load and fire.Charge 1 is usually used for the howitzer effect. The target must have been very close because at that trajectory there would be no arc of fire. (That's if the gun even fired at that elevation.)
Cheers
Herb
