Re: Tasmanian based WW1 German field pieces
Gday Paul,
To right mate there are heaps of interesting pieces all over the country.
I would almost say there would be more WW1 German made guns in this country than there are in modern day Germany.
Off the topic of German pieces I know of an old Boer War 6 pounder sitting in Ross,I'll get some images of her soon.
I was quite suprised when the Leopard turned up in Beaconsfield,small town population would be around 1000 people.Lucky buggers
Cheers mate and all the best
Dave
