  Bottom line: a gun just back from JOM?

  This had me stumped for a bit, but I think it is IOM rather than JOM. IOM, according to The Long, Long Trail http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/soldiers/a-soldiers-life-1914-1918/common-british-army-acronyms-and-abbreviations-of-the-first-world-war/ is Inspector of Ordnance Machinery, so the gun in question had been back out of action for maintenance or repair and an inspection. It's now back in the line and registering on Barricade Avenue.
