4.5" howitzer questions

[George Moore]

Interesting find, especially the leather parts. I have stowage lists and drawings of what was carried.

The info I have states 3 types of limber.
Two were identical except the items carried:
1A Limber with gun, ammunition and tools
1B Limber no gun, all ammunition

A third was longer, basically twice the capacity of the standard limber, again, all ammunition. It has a different "towing pole" that is shorter and not used hitched to horses, but connects to the towing hook on the rear of the limber.

All types were seen again in WW2, all fitted with rubber tyred wheels.

I do have fairly detailed drawings with dimensions and layout for them all, if interested.

George.
