HMS Bittern sinking

Original description: "Captured Englishmen, who were at first accomodated in POW camps in Drontheim (German for Trondheim). The Tommies surely imagined their "entry" in this norwegian harbour city to be different."

"NEWFOUNDLAND TROOPS IN ENGLAND: ARTILLERY TRAINING, 1942
View of one of the 12 inch howitzers Mk IV manned by members of the Newfoundland Heavy Artillery Regiments in England. The tray on the right conveys the 750lb shells into the breech, as they are too heavy to be man-handled. They are raised into place by a crane.
Comment : The cycinder driving the power rammer, introduced with the Mk II carriage, is visible on the right of the recoil cylinder above the barrel.
NOTE : This version of the photograph has brightness and contrast artificially increased to highlight detail."
