The damaged HMS NABOB proceeding homewards under her own steam, her stern low down in the water. She was hit by a torpedo during an operation in northern waters. Despite her damaged condition, NABOB turned homeward with a skeleton crew and reached her base after sailing 1070 miles at a steady ten knots.

Basically factory-made MG-pillboxes that you haul with you and bury them where you need them at.

Im not entirely sure but the name Panzernest is being thrown around when talking about them.

EDIT: Here is a good in-a-nutshell picture.

American soldiers on a captured German 280 mm railway gun Krupp K5, damaged as a result of allied bombing in the depot of the Italian city of Civitavecchia (Civitavecchia). In Italy there were two guns in its class with the name 'Robert' and 'Leopold', nicknamed by the Americans as 'Anzio Annie' and 'Anzio Express'. Both guns were captured by the Allies in June 1944, in Civitavecchia. The guns were actively used by the Germans to bombard the Allied bridgehead at Anzio.

The guy in the front (right side) is losing his helmet in the picture? Lol.
Looks like he suddenly had to slow down, horse's head is tilted backwards and the guy in the back is looking at something that's happening in front of them.
