Default 3.7in Memorial
A few pics from a little known memorial in Waurn Ponds just south of Geelong. It's a little run down which is ashame. The piece was donated by the local 2/10th Arty Regt in the early 1990's.

Default Nice Gun!
Could this gun have being manufactured in Canada?

Canadian 3.7in AA guns were manufactured by Canadian General Electric Ltd. in Peterborough, Ont. According to the web site below it appears that only static mountings were made in Australia.

Default 3.7" at CFB Borden
Does anyone know if the static mount 3.7" AA gun is still on display at CFB Borden? It used to be close to the McDonalds.
