Description

Unidentified gunners carry out gun drill on board HMAS Sydney under the supervision of the gunnery officer (an unidentified lieutenant). Six men are loading the gun, while two fire it. The large circular object in the background is a range clock, which the Range Control Officer uses to check the angle of the gun.
