Labelled photograph showing ammunition limber on left of gun, and formal 18 pounder gun crew positions :
No.1 (the sergeant), with his hand on the spade, gives instructions to the rest of the detachment.
No.2 : At the actual moment when this picture was taken No.2 was lying down. If the gun were actually firing his position would be to the right of the breech.
No.3 is ready to fire the gun;
No.4 has the shell in the correct position for placing in the bore;
No.5 adjusts the fuse and hands the shell to No.4;
No.6, farthest away, also prepares the ammunition and hands it to No.5;

The upper portion of the gun has been partially covered in order to conceal it from observers.
