The guns are only used for the Sudan and later as the British Army reverted to muzzle loaders during the Zulu War.
I'm not sure about a few of the poses, especially the limbo dancing characters who should be adjusting the bearing by manoeuvring the wheels.

Beautiful figures!
They look great. I wonder if they might have been used to support the Indian army in WW1 - after the mutiny they weren't allowed their own heavy artillery so British crews manning older guns would seem to fit the bill.
Verynice. I like the combo of the airfix RHA limbers and the Nags from German Mountain troops sets.
Andy they were used in WW1 (on Wiki)
7th Field Battery (4 guns, originally No. 2 and No. 6 Light Batteries) towed by oxen and known as the Oxo Battery and manned by Mauritian and South African gunners fought in the German East Africa campaign in World War I.[12]
So my Ox teams will come in useful
Very nice as always. I think I'm stalking you with the Colonials!
