17 inch Howitzer model at the Imperial War Museum. The King figures in a wonderful war

17 inch Howitzer model at the Imperial War Museum. The King figures in a wonderful war model. One of the most remarkable war models in the world is being placed on view by the Imperial War Museum, a notable feature of the model being a small portrait figure of the King at the Front (seen on the left). The model shows a 12 inch Mark V Howitzer on a railway mounting with the gun crew in action after firing a round. The King and the Prince of Wales are seen watching the crew at work. The perfectly reproduced Howitzer and mounting were made by Sir W C Armstrong Whitworth & Co. Ltd. and were purchased from them by the Imperial War Museum. The setting and figures were modelled by H H Cawood (late Lance-Corporal, Machine Gun Corps) under the direction of the Imperial War Museum staff. The figures are actually 4 inches high. The Queen has been pleased to accept a replica of the figure of the King. Pictured, a general view of the model. The figure of the King is seen on the left. December 1921
