Short 25 pndr memorials
How the world is so small.
http://localhistory.kingston.vic.gov...rticle/459.htm This article mentions Mike Cecil MLU member, the woman standing next to the gun Janice Munt, I knew back in 1973 , she went to my high school and became a member of state parliament . Alex McPherson gets a photo credit, he is a long term VMVC member from about age 12. I made contact with Janice again ( O'Connell was her unmarried name) , must have been 10 years ago, I was invited to lunch at parliament house woo hoo ! I said "the guards would not let me through the front doors of that building" A working class kid she was from Highett .

I think the weight of the Guns in that article need amending.

Short Weight
You are right, Jack.
2910 pounds total equipment weight for a 'Gun, QF, 25-pdr Short (Aust)' equates to 1319.976 kilograms (x factor is 0.4536), ie 1320 kgs. Mike
