Kilometres against seven kilometres. The French
gun is enabled to carry supply of 3o0 ROUNDS

the French 75-millimetre gun with carriage and

thick incrustations of London smudge on the

Aston Webb. The entrance TO that roadway
from Trafalgar Square is still blocked with the
unfinished admiralty structures, but some prog
