Tracks to the Trenches - bang you're dead
The information for visitors did warn that the field gun made a very loud bang - it did! This is an 18 pounder quick firing gun and was the main armament for the field artillery in WWI with an effective range up to 5 miles (good job it was firing blanks). This example was built by Vickers in 1914 and rescued from a scrapyard in the 1980s. During the cause of the day I saw it being pulled by horses and carried on a flat wagon pulled by various locomotives.

Apedale Valley Light Railway - WWI display
As part of the Locos from Leeds gala day. This was in the area of the site used for the 1914 trains to the trenches event. This event will be repeated in 2016 and 2018 and this was a lesser version with some re-enactors and some trains running in this area.
This is a very interesting set-up and the gala was great fun although it felt to be a little light on visitors.
Although I've never claimed to be much of a railway enthusiast (despite nearly 40 years of interest in stationary and marine steam), I'm beginning to get the bug and the narrow gauge stuff interests me at least as much as the standard gauge.

Tracks to the Trenches - troop transportation
The Apedale Valley Light Railway's event to remember the railways in WWI. Here we see LR2478 hauling a trailer full of troops in WWI attire including puttees. LR2478 is a 20 horsepower Motor Rail tractor built in 1918 as works No. 1757. It possibly never made it to France and the front but by 1920 it was acquired by the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway to work sand quarries in that area. Behind the train is a demonstration WWI trench.
