A 75-mm Belgian Anti-Aircraft Battery, equipped with impressive rotating mounts. 
Circa 1916-17

Note the second A-A gun that completes the Battery, to the right of the platform of the first gun, under these lines and on the stabilizing sandbags of the assembly. Similar gun carriages to these impressive and voluminous anti-aircraft mounts were made by the armies of France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Switzerland, etc. Especially during the years 1915 and 1916.
The guns are a variant of the 75-mm T.R. (Quick-Firing) Cockerill-Krupp Mle 1905: the 75 Rr gun lightened.
