British Thornycroft Anti-Aircraft Gun Carrier, 13-pdr 9cwt (Mk IV Mount), captured by the Germans, France, ca. 1918.

Warning

I take advantage of the fact that someone "perfidiously" treacherously placed the header image of my new blog: ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY IN THE WWI as a link to this old post from 2012, to place here a real link to my new Blog:

https://anti-aircraft-artillery-in-the-wwi.blogspot.com/

While I inform Google of the huge number of "attacks" on my Bloggers, persistently and at different times, I will try to alleviate the damage and promote my Blogs.

I hope you like this Blog dedicated to the Anti-Aircraft Artillery of the First World War, today little known as a whole.

Clarifying Note:

In a previous post, which I replaced with this one, had classified the vehicle of photography as a Clément-Bayard 1910, when in fact it is a Panhard model 1911.

Nota aclaratoria:

En un post anterior, que he sustituído por este otro, había clasificado el vehículo de la fotografía como un Clément-Bayard de 1910, cuando en realidad se trata de un modelo Panhard de 1911.
