I came across this early postcard showing a heavy gun being transported to or from Brasschaet (Brasschaat) in Belgium. The postcard is dated 1913, but the steam engine is much earlier - c.1880. The people's dress suggests they are civilians rather than military - perhaps haulage contractors or scrapmen moving the gun? Can anyone shed any more light on what might be happening in the photo?
I suspect the postcard used an old photo from the archives of the camp at Brasschaat. This is now an artillery museum, but my attempts to contact them for more information about the photo have so far been unsuccessful. I was wondering if anyone could put me in touch with the right person to speak to regarding the Brasschaat archives?
