The BL 8-inch howitzer Marks VI, VII and VIII (6, 7 and 8) were a series of British artillery siege howitzers on mobile carriages of a new design introduced in World War I. They were designed by Vickers in Britain and produced by all four British artillery manufacturers, but mainly by Armstrong, and one American company. They were the equivalents of the German 21 cm Morser 16 and in British service were used similarly to the BL 9.2-inch howitzer, but were quicker to manufacture, and more mobile. They delivered a 200 lb (91 kg) shell to 12,300 yards (11.2 km). They had limited service in the British Army in World War II before being converted to the new 7.2-inch (180 mm) calibre. They also equipped a small number of Australian and Canadian batteries in World War I and by the US Army in that

Vennero progettati dalla Vickers in Gran Bretagna e prodotti da tutte e quattro le manifatture d'artiglieria inglesi, ma principalmente dalla Armstrong Whitworth, e da una compagnia statunitense. Durante la Grande Guerra furono gli equivalenti dei 21 cm Mörser 16 tedeschi ed erano simili agli obici inglesi BL 9.2 inch, rispetto ai quali però erano più mobili e più rapidi da produrre. Nella stessa guerra piccoli lotti equipaggiarono anche le batterie australiane, canadesi, americane ed altri eserciti europei.

Они были спроектированы компанией Vickers в Великобритании и производились всеми четырьмя британскими артиллерийскими производителями, но в основном Армстронгом и одной американской компанией. Они были эквивалентны немецкой 210-мм гаубице 21 cm Mrs.16 и в британской службе использовались аналогично 9,2-дюймовой гаубице, но были быстрее в изготовлении и более мобильны. Они доставляли 91 кг снаряд на 11200 метров. Они имели ограниченное применение в британск (ru)
