This particular German 88 mm flak (anti-aircraft) gun had been of considerable nuisance to 'B' Squadron, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry, having knocked out several of its vehicles. It is positioned in a ground, anti-tank role, with the limbers positioned nearby just in case the crew needed to hastily move to another position. Sometimes the gun was used in action on the limbers but the instability affected the accuracy and rate of fire.
