Troops hauling an 18 pounder gun through mud and across shell craters, into position on Westhoek Ridge, in the Ypres sector. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C54954
come on
you men
let’s haul this mud
and the damned
eighteen pounder
inside it
it’s a lazy
machine
only fit
to spit lead
and it won’t
move itself
from the mire
if we want
fireworks
tonight
pull your weight
pull your weight
you better
pull your weight
~
The idea of pulling the mud is very good

Thanks Derrick. Must have been a heavy brute of a thing.
