"A Twelve-inch Gun" image: a view of a huge British 12-inch heavy gun in an artillery emplacement. The gun's barrel runs across the upper part of the composition and is painted with a camouflage scheme. Two metal platforms linked by a ladder are attached to the side of the gun, highlighting the sheer size of the gun. There is a box of shells in the right foreground and the gun is covered with sheeting supported by struts to prevent aerial identification.
