A few of these are scattered about as memorials, in varying conditions and state of completeness.

These pics show 2 that have had their original wheels removed for mounting. Elevation adjusts from -5Deg to +40Deg. The range scale is unique to the Short.

Default Short 25 Pounder

Short 25 Pounder: Used to find these in small parks/memorial reserves in Central West N.S.W. There was a example at Cargo near Orange and two more on the roadside reserve towards Eugowra. Wheels are usually missing, maybe a deliberate anti-theft measure !

Those park photos were good to see. So often the trail end is missing as was mine when I got it from the Belfield auction in 2006.

I need a Range Scale for a short 25pdr if anyone has one. I do have a normal 25pdr. Range Scale to swap if necessary.

Cheers Rick.
