Summary

Photograph of an Indian Army 10 pounder Mountain Gun crew in action, East Africa, World War I.
This is possibly the 28th Mountain Battery in the Lake Victoria region. It supported British amphibious operations at Shirati & Bukoba in German East Africa.

The gun shield is a local addition, made and fitted at the Uganda Railway workshop, Nairobi, in 1914.

A very large dataset of various big guns, howitzers, mortars, columbiads, all types of canon-like things - everything besides machine guns and rockets. This collection as well as all massive collections on Picryl.com required two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize cannon artillery, and after that, ran all 25M+ images in our database through our image recognition network. All media in the collection is in the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
