The BL 6 inch gun Mark VII (and the related Mk VIII) was a British naval gun dating from 1899, which was mounted on a heavy travelling carriage in 1915 for British Army service to become one of the main heavy field guns in the First World War, and also served as one of the main coast defence guns throughout the British Empire until the 1950s.
The 6-inch MkVII gun, together with the 9.2-inch Mk X gun, provided the main coast defence throughout the British Empire, from the early 1900s until the abolition of coast artillery in the 1950s. Many guns were specially built for army coast defence use, and following the decommissioning of many obsolete cruisers and battleships after World War I, their 6-inch Mk VII guns were also recycled for coast defence.
During World War I, 103 of these guns were in service in coastal

Firing at Fort Lytton
Firing practice was carried out this morning at Fort Lytton by the 11th Howitzer Battery, R.A.F.A., under the command of Captain Long, and by the 6-inch guns in the fort. The latter were manned by the 22nd Coast Battery, under the command of Lieutenant Reville.
The 111th Battery first fired a series of 12 rounds, followed by a second series of 16 rounds at a target anchored out in the bay at a range of 3,200 yards. Fort Lytton and its environs were wreathed in rain and mist, and visibility was poor. Nevertheless, excellent results were obtained.
The battery fired from a concealed position behind a hill, range taking observations and fire control being effected from the summit.

Lytton Fort.
Improvements and Repairs.
The Federal Government have decided to carry out certain alterations, improvements, and repairs at Lytton Fort. The Minister for Home Affairs has approved of the work being undertaken, and it will be done as usual under the supervision of the State Works Department, who will call tenders. The work will include the clearing the land of prickly pear and other undergrowth, the repairing and painting of the two main gates of the enclosure, and the repairing of the fences round the wells, and the filling up and repairing of the approach to the wharf. It is probable that when this contract is being carried out, some old buildings at the fort, including the quarters of the officer commanding the Royal Australian Engineers, which it was first proposed to renovate, will be sold for removal as being beyond repair.
