After the Caporetto disaster, the Austro-Hungarians occupied the coast to the south of the province of Udine.
In Lignano Sabbiadoro, an 8-km stretch of sand, located between the Marano Lagoon, the Tagliamento river and the sea, the Austro-Hungarian Navy installed, at least, one Anti-Aircraft Battery of 7-cm BAK (actual caliber 6.6-cm). One of these cannons is shown in the photograph.
The battery was located near the Finance Guard Barracks, an old building from the Napoleonic era.
Possibly between late 1917 or early 1918.

Despues del desastre de Caporetto, los austro-húngaros ocuparon la costa al sur de la provincia de Udine.
En Lignano Sabbiadoro, una lengua de arena de 8-km, situada entre la Laguna de Marano, el río Tagliamento y el mar, la Marina Austro-Hungara instaló, al menos, una Bateria Antiérea de 7-cm BAK (calibre real 6,6-cm). Uno de estos cañones se muestra en la fotografía.
La batería estaba ubicada cerca del Cuartel de la Guardia de Finanzas, un viejo edificio de la época napoleónica.
Posiblemente entre finales de 1917 o principios de 1918.
